They are trying to get this proposal passed but people are fighting back against it...As it is obviously stupid, not to mention insane given that Private Equity or Cryptocurrency cannot stand on their own two feet.

If nobody saw for miles away that Microslop was going to heavily enshittify their service, it's kinda sad given Microslop's history.
