Letter: Who pays the Bug bill?

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

MANY "cowboys" from all kinds of businesses - even government departments - will find the Millennium Bug the perfect vehicle for excuses for why something could not be achieved on time or why an increase in charges is unavoidable.

It will be up to us to recognise genuine trickery and know who to complain to. Perhaps we could address all disputed cases to an official Millennium Ombudsman?
