Almost every public health tax hurts poor people. I'm sure you would agree that even taxing tobacco hurts poor people because poor people are the largest user base of tobacco and since they are addicted, taxing tobacco is tantamount to

Code mirror 6 is super hard to use though unless you are a front end expert. Code mirror 5 was basically plug and play. Code mirror 6 is a box of Legos and you are responsible to build and bundle your own editor from scratch.

How to invent everything was a bit too hand wavy for me. It would barely scratch the surface of a topic (like making steel) and declare "and now you've invented steel" so that it could move on to help you invent other thing

Never a good idea to rely on Google proprietary tech (unless you are Google)... it could be sunset at any time without warning. I use GCP but I try my best to stay Google agnostic (avoid GCP-only offerings, etc) so that I can move to AWS if

I thought that was the whole point - if you make California all powerful in the house and Senate, smaller states get trampled on. It's no longer a union of states at that point, might as well rename the country California.
