TALLINN — Politicians in Estonia have recently come to the shocking conclusion that their digital devices are crawling with a ‘leaner state’ parasite. This news emerged during a routine antivirus check that unexpectedly revealed a bug feasting on taxpayers’ money.
Experts were called in when MP Juri was unable to open his email for three straight days, blaming missing documents on ‘a lack of digital discipline’.
”We wanted a leaner state, but instead got this digital squatter. Every time I log on, it demands more leib and kohv!”
The infamous parasite is said to have originated from a questionable software download featuring an enticing title: “Instant Lean State for Dummies.” It quickly multiplied across various devices, leading to confusion and curiosity among users, who began accidentally downloading unnecessary government reports.
While parliament struggles to rid its devices of the menace, many citizens have suggested offering the parasite a position on the cabinet, as it seems perfectly capable of consuming resources.
At press time, experts were estimating the parasite’s total length at a whopping 15 gigabytes of bureaucracy.
