On: Fix a Parking Ticket? There's an App for That

[recursive]

With cable, at least it's possible to never subscribe in the first place. That doesn't work with governments.

[rtpg → recursive]

don't own a car/house/etc. and you can greatly reduce your interaction surface with government.

At least in France the only interaction I have with the gov't is voting, getting a letter to pay my habitation taxes, and having to renew my passport.

If you think it's unreasonable to not have a car, it might be unreasonable to not have an internet connection too...

I think it's more reasonable to not have a car than it is to not have internet, but that's probably a minority view. In any case, I have internet access, but no cable subscription.
