      I'm sure they want to. every country wants to get a taste in taxes, but it is unrecorded, invisible, and generally impenetrable by virtue of it's function.

      people spend 5 years attempting to estimate the informal economic activity of a single sector in a single community and it's just a number on a page. it's like "estimating" how many people in Canada had how many embarrassing, secret dreams about unicorns last year.
