I never understood government overreach like this. Any developer can clone an open source crypto implementation and spin up a new chat app. It is ridiculously stupid to backdoor things. Unless the government plans to go back to the 80s, in

I'm often reluctant to donate cash because of organizational waste in nonprofits- how much of my donation is going to administrative staff? This is why I donate dry goods, canned goods, and labor.

I often hear the argument that "nuclear is bad because there is a chance of a catastrophic loss of life". Well, there has not yet been any large scale nuclear disaster. Cars kill hundreds and we still use them.
