Copyright is finally being deprecated as it should be.

I'm still waiting for an update on the final removal timeline.

It's being deprecated for billionaires. IP laws are one of the most blatant cases I've seen in this country of wealthy connected people being immune from laws that affect everyone else. I know it happens in many other areas, but usually it's much quieter and less in the public's face.

Not as of late. The Executive office and inauguration were full of it on full display, when the year before they were influencing who gets to run for president. They are sucking as much from the nation as possible while eliminating as many jobs as possible (the main way they get defended).

They got away with a lot by being boring an overall boiling the frog. But the suffering is very explicit and immediate as of late.
