they could pay for it with ads rather than a user fee
Re: Recreation.gov.
Let's also line the highways with electronic ad billboards like they do in soccer arenas. Then we won't have to pay gas taxes! Do you really want all aspects of modern life to be like the horror of having to use the internet? Maybe every time you buy a permit on Rec.gov, you can also be entered in a drawing to see if you accidentally "overpaid" for a Norton antivirus subscription and you need to call a number in India for a "refund."retired jerry wrote: ↑April 8th, 2023, 5:36 amthey could pay for it with ads rather than a user fee
Relatedly, maybe since taxes already fund the government, then government appropriations could adequately fund government services without allowing scalping by a contractor.

Re: Recreation.gov.
I currently have a Norton antivirus ad on my pc, telling me I should renew it. I'm too lazy to figure out how to make that go away.
Yeah, I agree, taxes should just pay for it
I don't mind ads that just occupy a portion of my screen. I object when a video pops up and audio starts playing and I have to search around to figure out how to kill it. Or, I think sometimes my PC hangs, waiting for an ad server to figure out what ad to serve me. Or, an ad that moves around distracting my view.

And I think recreation.gov is the devil's spawn..... I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for online permits, etc, but their fees are ridiculous.
