I can't think of any business or other government function that still makes me fill out any paper forms. At one recent employer I did not fill out a single paper or PDF-style form, HR or otherwise, in the entire experience from the day I applied until the day I resigned.

Nobody uses paper forms any more. Everything is online. Taxes should be no different, and there should be no 3rd party middlemen collecting tolls for the "privilege" of doing something online the way everything else is done.

...The AI will grow sentient, irradiate the crabs to make them larger and stronger, merge with their nervous system, and these Bionic Crabs will then hijack ships and battle the humans for control of major cities. An injured renegade Google employee will gave a child a special fob that can stop them, but only if...

Microsoft owns the word Word.

Ironically few of their products are "visual" any more. They got rid of WYSIWYG in their dev tools so now devs have to play fiddle faddle to get stuff to look right, and even then DOM shuffles them around in drunk ways under different conditions. It's a time-drain.

...if there are only toothless penalties on the plutocrats who lie and cheat, the data will useless. They like to hide the reasons they cut staff to keep investors from knowing what's really going on.

Another way to say this: any bill that actually punishes slimy plutocrats will likely never pass.

Our generation might not like it, but if our kids get used to it, insects are a great food source. Same phylum as crabs.

95% of countries have agreed to not swipe land. It's the 5% that cause all the headaches.

All Elon's solutions somehow involve space:

Back itches? His satellite emits a laser beam on the itchy part via an app.

Federal budget deficit? Fund Elon's asteroid mining bots to bring precious metals back to pay down the debt.

Lonely? His .20c "WarpShip" will take you to those green Orion babes. Double-Dee's are a 30% markup. 3-breasts are +60%.

Warming is already a global problem. When enough side-effects kick enough nations, they'll start to care and cooperate.

Putting ocean sprayers on say 1 in 10 container ships is relatively cheap.
