Isn’t IP address spoofing fairly trivial?

Is it just me, or are the elites looking at all facets of behavior and attempting to tax them? Young people can’t buy cars or homes (sources of fuel and property taxes), so instead their text messages and gaming are targeted...

This is the sort of thing that once would have generated a, “Throw the bums out!” movement. Now, however, we all understand that low taxes and accountable government are the racist policies of hatey, hate-filled, Nazi haters.

Oh, well. 9% on your Neflix, iTunes, and Steam is a small price to pay the the privilege of being on the side of goodly goodness.

What we used to call “American patriots” have been revealed as racist, white supremacist, culturally-appropriating hate hating haters.

Its only a matter of time before they start taxing air and charging residents for breathing.

I think a VPN would solve the problem. You might need to find a friend or relative with an out of town address fro billing....

YMMV...

This could be a good thing, and should spread to every blue enclave.

My opinion of Playstation is that it’s primarily used by millennials. That’s a huge tax. This could either cause them to go out and get a job to pay for it, or backlash at the very government taxing them by voting against the rats that got the tax going.

How about a luxury tax on Air Jordans or whatever the sneaker du jour is.

“Houston’s lesbian mayor imposed a rape tax on strip joints.”

That’s just...Spacey.
