@WoganMay It would be very interesting to see how it plays out if the US do away with income taxes.

According to Grok, "Income tax was introduced to the United States with the passage of the Revenue Act of 1861 during the Civil War. However, this early form of income tax was temporary. The modern federal income tax system as we know it today was established with the ratification of the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1913." When asking Grok for it's sources for this response Grok replied "My information regarding the introduction of income tax in the United States comes from: - The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) historical documents (irs.gov) - The Library of Congress (loc.gov) - Various historical accounts and academic sources discussing U.S. fiscal policy and legislative history."

It's remarkable how unliked Jira is. Hard to come up with another piece of software that seems so universally panned by people who have to use it, yet has clearly proven popular. I guess there's Salesforce, but... So what is it about Jira that so many don't like?

@mkristensen I'm not sure I see the point in this. I wouldn't use it.

Something happened to business software. You used to pay for it once, install it, and run it. Whether on someone’s computer, or a server for everyone, it felt like you owned it. And you did. Today, most software is a service. Not owned, but rented. Buying it enters you into a perpetual landlord–tenant agreement. Every month you pay for essentially the same thing you had last month. And if you stop paying, the software stops working. Boom, you’re evicted. For nearly two decades, the SaaS model benefitted landlords handsomely. With routine prayers — and payers — to the Church of Recurring Revenue, valuations shot to the moon on the backs of businesses subscribed at luxury prices for commodity services they had little control over. Add up your SaaS subscriptions last year. You should own that shit by now. SaaS still makes sense for many products, but its grip will slip. Installation and administration used to be hopelessly complicated, but self–hosting tech is simpler now and vastly improved. Plus, IT departments are hungry to run their own IT again, tired of being subservient to Big Tech’s reign clouds. Once upon a time you owned what you paid for, you controlled what you depended on, and your privacy and security were your own business. We think it’s that time again. ONCE.com

This has nothing to do with the fake antisemitism allegations and everything to do with punishing Elon for creating a social media platform where you don't have to pretend the Emperor isn't naked.
