Best I can offer is a token fine that will be reduced on appeal.

I'm fine with it but feel it needs to slowly decrease as income goes up. To be clear this cannot have cut off cliffs and should err on the side of recipient. Bit there is no reason to give it to anyone with high income.

If you give it to us, we'll invest it which will fuck with the market or spend it on luxury goods. This all cause inflation that would negate the benefits.

Anyone who really needs it and is spending it all within some reasonable time doesn't have this inflation effect.

Same way people on food stamps don't cause the price of food to go up because they're not using it for excessive spending.

I understand part of the goal is no bureaucracy so I suggest it be part of the tax system. Everyone get it's but it's taxed away for high income earners in a way that is not tax avoidable.

I could also see it being added to the us tax system by simply expanding the child tax credit to include adults. That already has limits built in but that's a lump sum on a tax return so not an ideal distribution.

Anarchy doesn't mean passivist.

If someone wants to enslave me or anyone else without consent. Dead.

It's not a discussion. It's not like there is some gray area here. It's a violation of everyone else's freedom to consent.

Either we are all free or no one is free.

Taking someone freedoms is an assault on every other human and must be treated a such.

What is the point of posting a comment to say you're disregarding an opinion.

Do you always loudly announce everyone you do something no one gives a shit about?

Most people like to be coddled, few with admit it but it's clearly a preference. They don't bother me but I do my best to ignore them.

I prefer to go in with a little foreknowledge as possible, life doesn't have trigger warnings, why should art? Bumpers are for children.

And this is not a, "I am very bad ass, nothing bothers me!" there are things that will consistently 'trigger' me, literally nope out but I'm a "buy the ticket, take the ride" type of person.

I also have a tendency to automatically dismiss groupthink. Occasionally to my own detriment but I'd rather maintained my agency rather than hand it off to a human void I rarely agree with.

To each their own. They don't benefit me because they aren't for me.

To answer the second half, if I had the wherewithal, my improvement would be for people to predefined their triggers and allow the medium to alert only when a trigger matches.

Interesting. My state does offer this. Closest is still about an hour out; not much further than I go now.

Made a note to look into this next holiday season. Thanks!
