If what Steam does is such a problem for everyone involved, why doesn't Sweeny make a better product himself then?
Oh, he has but it's worse?
Whould've thought!

That's... A statement.
You mean they cold brew the tea in the ocean basin?
What the actual fuck is this?
Corporate Hunger games?
The thing is, getting this kind of exception doesn't happen even when 5 million people sign a petition. The government is ruthless. Usually.
Yet here we are, a 79-year old got it. Usually you need the situation on national news before the relevant authorities would even begin to consider granting such an exemption. So the users of the program are never anonymous. They need to be exposed to the media in order to get it.
Yet here we are, a "random" 79 year old got it, and that's all we know about them. So thinking the "random" person coincidentally the same age as Trump isn't most likely to in fact be Trump is definitely not a stretch.
Surely a random 79 year-old from from North Korea is equally as likely to be the recipient of this as arguably the most powerful man alive, and unarguably in the country where it's happening.
Yup. Government has businesses by the balls.
But corruption exists.
Therefore the goverment only ever really pulls small businesses and normal people by the balls, while the big businesses and uber rich (money heavyweights) get to pull the government by the tongue. Sometimes even the balls as well.
Just as Supply Side Jesus intended.

I'm usually all for rehabilitation, but this behaviour deserves Gitmo-level torture.
AFAIK "congressman" isn't a protected class. And he'd most likely like to get rid of the others.
This gives me hope for America.
Why am I not surprised such a creature was found in Australia of all places?

It most definitely is discrimination. Because discrimination is "treating two things differently according to a discriminator". Such as living alone or with a registered partner.
Now, the purpose of this is obvious (having a child is expensive and a good thing in the state's eyes). Such cases where the discrimination "makes sense" (as it evens the playing field isntead of skewing it further) is usually termed as "positive" discrimination.
But as it technically fits the core requirement of discrimination, it is discrimination.
