I am all for government taxes, government bodies that oversee food production and commerce, social welfare programs or lay down ground rules for various social activities. It doesn't mean that I think the government totally altruistic, and working solely common good. There is often (or always) a relatively hidden agenda which is conflated with the by all means honorable motives, like covering the costs of public services, saving the climate, or protecting us from a foreign adversary. Seldom does the ulterior motive reveal itself so clearly as in this case however. Instead thinking this is a one-off, we should really be inspired to produce or look for a service where all policy decisions were inspected not only on the aspects that the politicians or public servant say but all relevant aspects, to find out the other reasons (not necessary more "real", but relevant too). Somewhere deep among those other reasons there may be an effect that is actually not for the common good.
