sounds like a frog in a saucepan… sure is getting warmer!

not trying to be combative, but this grumpy response over a 5min read does illustrate something and i hope its trolling tbh. the tldr summary that is triggering here is kinda a key point of the article - people looking for a quick interaction and then moving on.

its the point where people say “but a sneaky vpn will get around so we may as well do nothing” is equivalent to “my friend can buy me a sneaky drink so we may as well do nothing”… just because you can exploit a law doesn’t make it invalid. enforcement concerns are valid, but it seems reasonable to start with “i agree there is a problem” and go for the 80% rule

i feel like i need more goob in my life. do you sell rulers?

good commentary, covered a lot of ground - appreciate the effort to write it up :)

if you secure debt against them, they should be taxed?

i’ve seen salt with high fructose corn syrup added to it… so technically less salt?

this is exactly the question that needs answering… the PIR is bullshit
