I didn't mean to imply Boomer bashing. I acknowledged his perspective, added my own, and accept that we're a product of our time and nature. As always, I'm against blanket sentiment, and for individual scrutiny.


I'm also constantly complaining about needless complication (and limitation). Why do banks close when the computers remain on 24/7? Every transaction should be measured in milliseconds. The fact that we still print things, fax, require notaries, have hours of operation, don't back opinion by analytics, etc, etc, is the bane of my existence.

Why do I have to "do taxes"? This is insanity combined with layers of corrupt politics that led us to this dystopian outcome of a tax code. We should all get a free punch for every single person that has ever added a line of tax code. If you aren't talking about eliminating the tax code, you're an enemy of humanity. It doesn't even matter if you're advocating for people with 1 eye, or those with one limb longer than another. You add a character to the tax code, and you're an enemy of the people.
