Yup pure snowflake hizzy fit
Donāt believe in āsinā tax. Determining āsinā is not the purview of the USG nor some mob of authoritarian cads.

Thereās a part of me that agrees and another that disagrees. What I stated is true and just like any other addict to anything else, being the supplier is benefiting at someoneās expense and IMO thatās wrongā¦especially our government.

Whatā¦you want the government to hand hold people?
MUSL is a nonprofit organization.
No, I want my government not to take advantage of stupid people. Especially those who can least afford it.
And yet they produce million of dollars of revenue every year for state governments.
