How about make a flag with ‘is banned’ that indicates it is banned, and then checking whether ‘is banned’ exists before allowing a post to be upvoted. You can use this for free Reddit, its a gift.

Can someone explain to me why this is worse than Europes VAT tax?

According to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) study, any nation that switches to VAT initially feels the negative impact of reduced tax revenues. In the long run, however, the study concluded that VAT adoption has in the majority of cases increased government revenue and proved effective.

It seems to be proven quite effective, and Europe still has them, so why is Trumps worse/better than a VAT?

Do you live in a house? Somebody spent a lot of effort to build it, and expecting it for free would be silly, and its the same with many other things.

The thing that youre mad about is the fact living standards are falling, because your central bank can print unlimited sums of money out of nothing, as interest rates are set artificially low to monetize debt; which encourages debt accumulation via the cantillon effect, which creates serfdom via a gatekeeping system on an inelastic good.

The closer to the gold standard you were born the cheaper things like your house was, and the less debt was required as debt was actually a liability instead of an asset, because it is inevitably eroded by future money printing.
