@Caleb James DeLisle @9c8434d0 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: it is much worse, in fact. Tax codes -- among other regulations -- are being weaponised in order to kill the competition. You can watch a perfect example of this in OpenAI who right after achieving a sizeable market share suddenly began demanding that the entire field must be regulated. Taxes are often used in the very same manner and fashion.
