Smart IT departments do this with Windows upgrades too. Even though Microsoft is usually very good about backwards compatibility, it's always smart to test these things before you upgrade 500 computers.

Given the root of the problem is “religion” this may not be as simple as we want it to be.

Gets rid of the expensive employees who won't follow the rules and leaves openings for fresh graduates and employees who need the job. It's a win-win for these businesses!

Meanwhile the remote work opportunities are becoming more and more competitive as RTO reduces the pool of available remote jobs. It's hard enough to compete against 300 people applying in the first day (literally in some cases, it's insane!), this only makes it worse.

The total number is even in the first paragraph. Not the best summary I’ve ever seen.

Feeling kinda neutral on this one. Nice that it’s added but I always liked that Nintendo games didn’t have these. I can just tell people I beat the SMS Plinko game.

As long as there are people for whom streaming compression isn't acceptable, there'll be a market for Bluray movies/TV shows.

Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.

free filing would discriminate against the poor

As opposed to the current system where the richest among us can hire a whole team of accountants to find every deduction possible?

You're acting like the filing that would come from the government would be the final record and you wouldn't be allowed to correct it, which is not at all what people are suggesting.

Plus, audits will still be a thing.

Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans' taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we'd stop pretending that the IRS isn't already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we're stuck where we are.
