    You ignored the part where you only tax compute over a certain threshold. We have all sorts of taxes and regulations that apply only once you a certain scale.

      There’s all sorts of reasons taxing all compute over a certain threshold is stupid. I ignored it because it’s ignorant of the facts at hand.

      At one point or another, compute was scaling exponentially for customers - one day that might begin to happen again. Laws move slowly - and will stupidly end up at a point where the average joe has that level of compute in his phone. Congrats, now you’ve decided to tax everyone because of “compute over a certain threshold”.
