gollark: They don't seem to actually use it much.
gollark: Arguably governments subsidizing it worsen the problem, since the government is even *less* sensitive to how much money they're burning than individual people spending money on this stuff.
gollark: This cannot possibly go well.
gollark: I'm fine with people talking about it theoretically.
