It is interesting how you raise that yardstick on housing and not on income tax or sales tax. Frozen property tax assessments benefit homeowners who are already rich, and disproportionately benefit the literal richest. It is not entirely cl

Your analogy about drunk drivers actually makes my point: we don't just tell parents "be vigilant". We have DUI laws, road design standards, and enforcement--systemic solutions, not just individual responsibility. With tech,

Should Apple/Google be liable as platform? I'm trying to imagine how you envision regulation without going after the biggest individual apps that enable child financial fraud & sexual grooming.

While cool, this does not incorporate real-time data, just the static schedule. I've explored this--you need 511 API access to obtain real-time data, and to conceal your API key you need to stand up a web application. Cool proof-of-con
