This is actually the first thing that improves my opinion of Will Ferrell.
Here's an idea: How about zero days?
I admittedly don't get how this is even a thing, having bought unlocked phones for prepaid service going on 14 years now. Wait for a sale on a phone, get a high-end device for like $800 (financing always available), and pay $200 once a year for service.
It's appalling to me that people think more than $17/month for cell service is reasonable.
Poorly thought-out Facebook posts are forever; coverage of city council malfeasance from two years ago, not so much.
For an article that tries to push a groupthink narrative to work, the people using the "discouraged" product need to believe the "encouraged" one has feature parity with zero downsides.
I guarantee that no one is accidentally using Firefox because they're unaware of the alternatives.

Raising the payroll cap has always been the sane, easy solution. The notion that after a certain point you make too much to be taxed is one of the most glaring examples of fucking the working class via regressive policy.
Amazon's argument seems to boil down to "we sell products, not ads, so the law shouldn't apply to us." The EC response seems to be "what you would like the law to say is not what it says."
Regardless, the fact that Amazon doesn't like the law means it was written to protect consumers from corporations. In the states, we've completely forgotten that government is supposed to do precisely that.
As a topic, this has always amused me. It's not like climate change will affect a few mountains and leave the rest of us unscathed.
