Still think it'd be cool if I had more space and money to waste on toys. As it is I've been hoarding used books. Anything that catches my attention. I need to start doing the same for board and tabletopgames. This social credit score system probably won't affect 98% of people. But for us evil bad people, if we manage to find each other it would be nice to have something fun. Books can be loaned, games played together, and food exchanged. There's even a competetive element; who can make the best pickled egg, or spiciest hot sauce(that still tastes good), beer and wine, bbq.

Even just 12tb per person, that's thousands of hours of anime, manga, films, books, vidya. We'll be going back to the old days like when we'd swap floppy disks or thumb drives.

The tax brackets are not being adjusted for inflation, and I believe this is intentional.
