Interesting that on the news last night they were talking about how times like these, and war, always introduce new government taxes or policies that are meant to be temporary but end up becoming permanent. Such as income tax. That wasn't even a thing until WW1 and was meant to fuel the war effort. Of course once the government saw how much they were siphoning from the people for exercising their own blood, sweat, and toil, they decided to keep it in place. So if your super liberal cousin at the virtual Easter dinner tries to argue income tax is just, drop that historical doozy on him - because it appears society functioned just fine without it. The news hinted at we could expect the possibility of 'mandatory testing' going forward, data mining, data collection which means an even closer following of where people are moving about, also with the possibility of new taxes because none of this is free. Which I laughed at the latter because look how broke people are in this country if they can't go a month without facing bankruptcy or eviction - and in theory the government could propose new taxes in an effort to stem something like this from ever happening again in the capacity it has.
