How stupid can mankind be? Hungaria setting new standards...
I mean cmon, online gaming will be shit expensive at a rate of 49ct/Gigabyte download.
And then imagine youtubers/streamers....
Then, allow me to shed some light on the situation.
The national tax and customs bureau(NAV) has issued a replacement of all cash registers in Hungary.
These modern ones are all interconnected to their database.
Guess how?
Yep, online. That is going to put a serious toll on shops, and this is just one very small part of the picture.
There are estimates that many internet service providers will go bankrupt and cease to exist, they can only get about a 10% revenue from their current activities right now.
I'd also like to state that Hungary has the highest value added tax in the world. 27% on everything pretty much.
This tax goes on top of your subscription which is quite costly already because of that.
On some news, the next protest is scheduled on November 17. That will be the day when they vote about the tax.
Considering they have secured two thirds again and they are in control thanks to populist propaganda and rewriting the constitution so they cannot lose as hard as they normally would, there isn't much hope in reversing this in a democratical way.
Ofcourse they are saying that us citizens will be protected and the ISP-s can't force us to pay more, which is fucking ridiculous if you think about it for even a second.
