The devil on my left shoulder wants to laugh at L3 for their hypocrisy.
The angle on my right shoulder wants to congratulate a "tier one" (whatever t=
he F that means) provider for finally admitting, in writing, in public, from=
a lawyer, what the rest of us have known for decades.
In the middle is me being afraid of the gov't actually regulating something t=
hat _is_ a problem, but because they are the gov't, doing it in a way that w=
ill cause more issues than it solves. :-(
