Unless the $$$ flows to me there aren't enough $$$ in the world to make a fine enough to pay for his company violating my privacy.

[23:34:51] <exec> 08└─And I respect that. There was a time when religious organizations were the ones helping folks in need that way and it's why they were granted a tax exempt status.

[23:35:39] <exec> 08└─I don't see the issue with this. In an age of mass surveillance, privacy is more important than ever. It's usually more difficult to change a constitution, so if they can enshrine the right to use cash (which protects privacy & anonymity) in their constitution, I say go for it. This issue is not irr...
