Tax dollars at work. Complete waste of money and time.
How about clarifying a path forward for people instead of the vague threat of prison and fines. Also the howey test was invented in the 40s, it's stupid and lazy to apply it here.
- Larrikin 8y agoA viral site, that has had multiple news writeups, meant to educate the general public about an increasingly common scam seems exactly like the thing I want my tax dollars used on. Its such a good example, that it has now made the front page twice on a site with people that are generally much more educated about the matter than most people. The project is not only educating the public, but was likely a lot of fun for all involved, helping to retain people in public service when salaries are already low and has people quitting in protest in droves due to the current administration.

- kristjansson 8y agoAs long as we like clean water flowing in and shit flowing out, we’re going to need some public servants.
- whataretensors 8y agoReally hit a nerve to get flagged on HN. There's a huge difference between civil workers making sure plumbing works and the SEC using tax dollars to create a strawman propaganda website about why we need the SEC and why we should give them even more money. SEC cares about expanding the SEC, everything else is just justification. They are one of the most corrupt government organizations we have. They've colluded with the government to hand the future to the elite and castrate the free market.
