    yeah…all the elderly old farts in our government are totally going to put something together that will NOT make problems like that worse.

        yes, but not in a digital form like the kinds of subscription services that make it nearly impossible to cancel.

        The elderly members of congress won’t know how to help the situation, so it’s overwhelmingly likely that whatever they end up voting on will either be written by people who don’t understand how that stuff works, or, more likely the bill(s) written will be written by lobbying groups

          They don’t have to understand the intricacies of online services to write a law that says, “It can be no more difficult to cancel a service than it is to initiate the service.”

          Yes, the courts would have a right fun time sorting out a poorly written law, but that will be because of legalized bribery lobbyists, not because it’s an actually difficult task.
