Government is finding out the right hand had no idea the left hand even existed.
Clear-cut 'Government Efficiency', I'm sorry you went through that stupid rodeo.

It's all good. I put my ideas into a really cool and ground breaking piece of software. We never truly made it as we got beaten in the market by another company but I have put the packages head to head and still know I made the best software for what I do that available. Satisfaction there and when you've been stacking sats a while, the financial side is meh!
There's another element here. One of incentive. My situation finally incentivised me to move to somewhere I had considering reloacting to but had been putting off. It also further incentivised me to start other businesses to try to recover the lost time. I now have another business which is, whilst not huge, very successful and provides lots of employment, as well as another couple that I've invested in and given a little help with. I am currently looking at trying to set up another whilst at the same time, trying to encourage some friends to look at the idea of pooling together to pay for some devs to try developing a new little idea for nostr. One can take a beating from thieving government and give up, I've seen that in some people in Spain who simply stopped trying to expand businesses due to the hellish environment there; or one can take the punch, get up and be more motivated. That's a personal choice
