This particular brand of Hackernewsian condescension is unreal. I'd be amazed if it weren't so depressing. Please don't belittle someone's very real grievances like this, thank you.
You don't find it a little unfair that doing something the government makes you do is so Byzantine and fraught with error that there is an entire cottage industry around doing it? When the only reason it's so awful is because of policy choices largely out of our control?
What if we deliberately slowed your car down, threw our hands up because "it is what it is", and then said you could fix it by paying $500? Wow, we solved the problem!
