@andrewvandam So maybe it'll be relatively functional in 5-7 years...
@LouisIngenthron @andrewvandam USDS is involved, it'll be done far sooner than you think.
The real problem is how fast Intuit and HR Block bribe the politicians to shut it down. We do live in a oligarchy after all.
@LouisIngenthron well, i reckon the bar they gotta clear is just "more functional than the turbox free version," which is lower than you think. so maybe 3-5 years?
