wouldnt it then be significantly better if you and others who want "value for their money" spend your own money making a world factbook, and then let people who dont much care not spend on it?

isnt this fair and equitable? you wouldnt pay for your neighbors lawnmower or cybertruck either?

This is all information the government will need to collate anyway. How much money do you think they'll save by not publishing it for others to use, exactly?

[redeeman]

"will need".... and why exactly do they need that? I could easily envision that the government in fact does not collate such

[simonw]

No.

well you know, I could use a cybertruck, i suppose you'll step up and chip in?
