This already exists... it's called advertisement. The people who have no problem with advertising will be the same people who have no problem with "coercion capitalism". Most people don't have the energy or will to care,

Is anyone else not as optimistic about remote work? I feel that the workplace is the single largest facilitator of friendship/relationship/community building that most adults have in the modern day. If this goes away I really fear

So do I have to pay taxes for the taxes I just paid on my Bitcoin?

Yes, Honeycrisp are too sweet, and too filling.
