    functionally (comparative more functionally, superlative most functionally)

    1. In a functional manner.
      • 2022 October 5, David Wallace-Wells, "Progressives Should Rally Around a Clean Energy Construction Boom", in The New York Times [1] , archived from the original on 3 November 2022:
        The alliance that pushed the Inflation Reduction Act into law in August was always a somewhat fragile and ramshackle one: Green New Dealers and the coal-state senator Joe Manchin, carbon-capture geeks and environmental justice warriors, all herded together in the sort of big-tent play you get with a 50-50 Senate and one party functionally indifferent on climate.
