    Piracy keeps the poors occupied and busy so they don’t riot. There’s no blood left to squeeze from that rock, they’re not going to buy streaming. Games are in decline as systems die of go outdated, and corporate erodes the quality of development.

    They’re idiots if they push this bill in earnest.

    Look what happened the last time people had too much time on their hands (Covid). And everyone has a lot more to pissed about, now.

      Your last paragraph crossed my mind recently as the oil prices really start to spiral out of control. There were so many protests bordering on riots because people were stuck at home due to covid - now we’re already hearing news that truckers are starting to sit idle instead of driving at a loss.

      Imagine how much free time and how much anger everyone will have when the economy grinds to a halt from product shortages all over the country.
