itd be nice if the usa had a public free hosting service that was paid for by a 25 or 50 dollar flat tax.
Flat taxes are regressive and a really, really, really bad idea. We have too many of them as it is.
I used to believe in that ideal, but any government product that Republicans can possibly ruin, either by destroying or criminally defunding, will be either destroyed or defunded.
The horse is out of the barn. It would take 200 years before we could cleanse the stain of the GOP and their shareholders from this world, so it's never going to happen.
tbh yeah its sad. probably not going to be fixed ever though. When people wanted to do society differently you used to be able to just talk about how things aught to be , gather similarly minded people , and fuck off and make a new town somewhere else. Itd be nice if that freedom still existed in the world.
