@madengineering @aeva Serious question, do banks keep stuff on paper these days?
@be @madengineering @aeva the IRS has paper backups

@hipsterelectron @madengineering @aeva Are you sure about that in the post-DOGE era?

@hipsterelectron @madengineering @aeva Are you sure about that in the post-DOGE era?
@be @hipsterelectron @aeva Banks knowing how much money you've deposited, and thus how much you can demand back from them, is serious business for banks.
Wouldn't want me to withdraw a million dollars that I don't actually have now, would you? -

@be @madengineering @aeva the IRS is more important than you would expect

@be @madengineering @aeva unfortunately, for surveillance, but nonetheless

@hipsterelectron @madengineering @aeva yeah that's why I wouldn't be surprised if DOGE conveniently lost those paper records for Elon Musk

@hipsterelectron @be @aeva The government has plans ready to collect taxes in the apocalypse, so yeah, they are ready to operate on paper, with candles, writing with goose quills if need be. The world literally ending would not stop them.

@madengineering @hipsterelectron @aeva Something tells me health insurance companies aren't as serious about having their records in order.

@be @madengineering @aeva this stuff is vital to the functioning of a state. it would harm the state more than anything else to lose it. records were largely not lost to musk but leaked to private individuals who shouldn't have had access

@be @madengineering @aeva i think corps are far more vulnerable than the state. corps die all the time

@hipsterelectron @madengineering @aeva the numbers in health insurance land are all totally fake anyway. If you ask a doctor how much something would cost, they can't answer because they legit don't know and don't even know how to find out.

@hipsterelectron @be @aeva The physical manifestation of a corporation is a piece of paper, and if you were to get your hands on it, yeah, you could break a corporation in half with almost no effort at all. Fighting the lawyer guarding it would be kind of tricky, though.

@madengineering @aeva It requires a concerted effort of an army of hackers/social-engineers to slowly overthrow the banking infrastructure over the course of decades. I, of course, have nothing to do with any such plan, and it... is... completely... fictional
@howtophil @madengineering @aeva
all knowledge disavowed, and all hardware to do said crimes exploded
