Not to be pedantic... but you can obviously now drive without gas... hence the push to find alternatives to gas tax.

I like the idea of a tire tax... but question whether you could realistically expect a tax to end (gas tax). You think those in power will give up money when they could simply have more money?

Being able to use a controller enables fingerprinting? Producing a laughably restricted browser experience is protection? "fingerprinting" is one interesting counterpoint to the fact that the browser was highlighted as an alternat

That's fine and dandy... but I've never had an issue with payment processors in Netflix or other subscription services I use. It's nice having it one place but why should Netflix pay 30% to someone who signs up on Apple and t
