We already have one for the Danish government’s apps. It’s called 2.1 stars. /s but also not really /s because most of our official government apps are actually rated rather poorly.
But seeing how the best rated app by the Danish government is actually rated 4 stars on play store, a badge may be in its place.
Now why would i participate in mass murder when i can avoid it by taking every handout possible and laugh as the government collapses under its own dead weight?
@shortwavesurfer There's no way you compare something as mundane as this to mass murder. And be sure that every country's government has all the means necessary to prosecute you for stuff like this, sooner or later.
Anyway, for me there are some useful such apps that I use:
One is for my city's public transit - really useful, it even displays the vehicle position in real time so you can make up your mind on your route.
One is for train tickets (you can also do related stuff as well, like check if your train is late).
One is to check if there are any breakdowns in the heat distribution system to see if I won't have heat overnight.
I'm sure as hell there are some others, but I did not need them so far. If the government was to spy on me, it could install some malware or some sort without resorting to the Play Store.
But taxation is mass murder. You are stealing time from people’s lives and taking their wealth and then you are using it to build weapons that you then use against your enemies to murder them. So mass murder.
All countries do the former. Taxation is theft of the individual’s life. But most countries do a little less of the latter with killing people indiscriminately. Only the big ones like the US, China, Russia, etc. can really accomplish that easily. You don’t hear about Brazilians killing Argentinians, for example.
Yep, because to get you in the healthcare system they authorize the use of cancer causing Pasta sides on grown crops, which poison you over time. Then you come in because you don’t feel well and they prescribe you pill after pill after pill and steal your money.
I will receive my tax return when I receive my tax return. If it was a website, I might consider using it. But an app? No, thank you. I’m good. A web browser is more sandboxed and has less permission than any app does.
I also have an app for tolls in my state, and the VA. I’m just pointing out that not all government apps are terrible and I can certainly understand why some people would want or need to use them.
Not to be a dick, but how/why is that useful? It’s not a package I need to physically go get or something. It’s deposited into an account (super fast if you do your taxes early). This also assumes I’m getting a refund.
Depends on who you are probably. But a poor person who’s only access to the Internet is via smart phone might beg to differ. This also might matter if you do taxes on paper rather than using an online service (paid or free). When you file digitally and supply a bank account you absolutely will receive a tax return pretty expediently unless you get audited. But if you file a paper tax return by snail mail and are expecting a check? Different story. What if they never received your return? What if it was lost in the mail? What if the check gets lost in the mail?
