re: #317 Obdicut

And I don’t think we should. It’s just deductions all over again. Then the lobbying will be to get yourself put into the ‘useful’ class.

Hell, think of something like a coal power plant. It’s obviously useful. It’s also incredibly harmful. We have a ton of industry that is like that, if you calculate the actual harm/benefit of the process, rather than just the finished good.

And if you are dealing with the finished good, are you taking into account quality? Because better-made things using durable materials are better than a load of crap knocked out that will fall apart overnight.

It’s really, really complicated. The abstract idea is fine, but you’d need AI or something in order to manage it.
