I'm happy to see anybody unburdened by the US legal system, but there's something underwhelming about the most powerful politician in the country only now deigning to use his executive power.

People are cheering and memeing in unsurprising reddit-logo fashion and I'm like bruh, he could have done this and more. Years ago. And they're talking about the necessity of voting and how bad trump would be. Like where do you think Brandon was when drafting the anti marijuana bills?

That said, I don't want to come across as unreasonable when good things happen. If a lib approached me and shared this news, what would be an appropriate response?

Link because I got that bird box disease where I want to make people to see the thing.

    Plenty of countries already do this too, so it's not like it's impossible.

    I only have to edit my tax returns when I need a specific deduction that they wouldn't know about (like paying a membership fee or doing renovations on my house). Most of the time I just leave it as is and end up overpaying a little (but then get it all back next year). Zero hassle, never had an issue, really, and this is with a bunch of cuts to the tax office in recent decades.
