100% cool with taxing wealth.

If only taxation in the past worked (it did)!

Is there any way we can get out of this terrible predicament (it's taxing the wealthy, btw).

They track cars, humans, literally everything. Society is one massive database. And the cops are basically given free reign to do whatever they want with that. That could include stalking people they don't like or their exes. In one case a dude got in his car drove for hours to get some legal weed in another state drove all the way home and they showed up to arrest him.

We're headed into a massively dystopian surveillance state where the government and major corporations will be able to monitor, plot, and plan for virtually everything that we do.

Edit: Downvoter: I normally don't care about your type because fuck random internet people, but why do you want a surveillance state? Boggles my fucking mind.

Why not create good will and establish a consumer brand? Undercut everyone.

If this is government backed they can do just about anything they want.

Unfortunately even though that isn't the case here, companies get bought up for parts all the time.

That's sort of what I meant. It's not just the existence of the reference. It's the fraudulent nature of it.

Someone sends me anything with a reference that doesn't exist they can get fucked. Student, colleague... doesn't matter.

I'm seeing academic venues threatened to ban people if they implications are egregious enough.

There's no reason why law shouldn't work the same way.

That is my very favorite verse.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
