So, if you ever wondered why people who understand surveillance are salty about video cameras on doorbells...
It's only a matter of time before they get co-opted into mass surveillance. And if the regime you live under changes that's you spying on your neighbours.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

A small number of senior barristers are enabling large-scale tax fraud.
They issue opinions saying tax schemes will work. They know they won't.
The point of the opinion isn't to be right. It's to protect the shadowy individuals running the schemes from prosecution.
