That tariff income and increased GDP would more than make up for, thus transferring wealth downward, in the opposite direction of the taxation. Of course Fortune doesn't care for that dynamic. Where was its concern for the deficit when the Fed was running the money printing press for Ukraine?

Thanks for your patience with the site over the last day. We sent it to bed without any supper last night, and it's back working this morning - nvaccess.org/ - you can download NVDA, read most of the pages, etc. A couple of things, including the certification exam and beta downloads are offline over the weekend, and we'll get those back up and running on Monday.

If only some group of people had been warning about the risks of massive government data collection, loudly, for decades and decades

imagine then getting freaked out when the government, which holds all that data in thousands of isolated silos just decides to...be efficient. talk to other parts of government. coalesce and aggregate its data.

imagine your entire defense for doing nothing about this is that you just assumed the government would never get its shit together and use the data you let it collect
