Where are the budget cuts going?

Almost daily another service receives a funding cut, but I'm struggling to recall any investments by this govt... at all, tbh. Where's all this saved money going? I don't really want to hear joke answers, I want to know, seriously, what the govt has been doing with these alleged savings.

All but the two Rothfuss books (which I first read last year) were new reads for me. I'm currently reading Whit at the top, and I'm loving it so far. It's hard to read, but under Neuromancer (which I loved and will reread) is The Hills Is Lonely by Lillian Beckwith (LOVED IT). I found Skinheads pretty boring tbh, but How To Build a Car was surprisingly engaging for someone who has little knowledge nor care for cars and racing.

Island of Secrets by Rachel Rhys and The Five by Hallie Rubenhold are both missing as I checked them out from a local library. I didn't particularly care for either of them to be honest.

Can you guess my favourite video game/s from this stack? And/or my favourite musician? I think if I asked what my uni major was it'd take a while from this stack lol

I am so confused by the page number referencing in essays. I keep getting feedback that I'm citing the wrong page numbers, but I'm not being told /how/ the citation is wrong (whether it's the formatting, or if the number is just wrong).

Online papers all have their digital page number as determined by how the pdf was scanned in (page 1 is often just a scan of the front cover, and true page 1 is like page 15 or whatever), but the scans still have the true page number noted in the bottom. This gets even more confusing when the pdf is just a section of a work, digitally numbered as 1-7, but the true page numbers are like 272-279.

Which number do I cite in my essays? The digital/pdf page number, or the actual printed page number from the original paper/book? I've mostly been using the original printed number over the digital pdf, but I've still recieved feedback that I've been doing the page number wrong. What gives?
