I am puzzled about navigational charts.

Cue the old Abba song, "Money - Money - Money"

Money, money, money....
It's a rich man's world....

Even though the US tax payer paid to have the charts made and kept up,
greedy government bureaucrats sold us out to the chart companies for fun
and profit and probably a little money under the table.

Now, other government bureaucrats want to do the same thing to WEATHER maps
and data tax payers already paid for so you can pay for your weather maps
just like your charts! You're already paying extra for lightning hit data,
today.....

It's all part of the exhorbitant cost of boating to keep the pleasure
reserved for those with ....... Money, money, money....
