It doesn't actually do anything about whatever cause aside from lining someone's pockets while the costs are passed on to consumers. We're seeing that now with AI.

With what leverage would the rest of us force taxation upon them? Lol (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5905934&forum_id=2/en-en#50149271)
