Finally, no more troublesome thinking! That gives me more mental bandwidth for thinking about things like gadgets and power tools and sports! The whole reason I became a freelancer was so that I could have decisions made for me. I like being lorded over

The government is in a soup over its efforts to undo a judicial order on a crucial tax policy through retrospective amendment to the relevant law.
