Comment on FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free”
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 year agoSorry, didn’t mean it to come across as insulting, just that it’s a weird situation you even need to be praising one of the others. I hope it gets better

No worries. You’re right that it’s absurd that we need to fight so much for our government to protect us from blatant corporate for-profit schemes. There was a time where even the US government at least did us the honor of pretending to not take bribes like this. The Intuit tax return money machine is such an obviously fixable problem. All my 20-something friends in the US know that this problem only exists because lobbying. It’s disgusting to watch elected representatives become so comfortable with their positions that they feel safe enacting policies that hurt their constituents like this.
