The people who put the tax there in 2016 and now half removed it for 3 months couldn't foresee this effect on the population/didn't think it through? So only particular people must benefit from a removal of a tax? Why they didn't write that in the amendment then?

if a man get a 5% reduced price on a laptop, he might let that go to his child or outside child. a small business buy a set and reselling, if their prices good, that would pass on to the customer, who might just be other children.
the more people we have online would tend to get more services, private and public, tailored for online too. making this move smother and efficient.... that line up the ministers caused people to go for grants over the months, that should be the bare minimum people. the vast majority of peopel should have been online. in fact the payments shoudl have gone direct deposit... another e system.
if u have a govt and a public more accustomed to operating E, most tings would go e...
imagine if most people ttec bill were paid online, and they just use a courier service to deliver the bulbs to the customers, based on their database. but we hadda go and pay the bill, and then join another line to get the bulb. while e customers have to make an appointment... whats the point of making and appointment, to line up in the sun, in covid, and u paid online?

As it is govt and it’s culture suppresses private sector innovation and investment.
If govt stepped off and became a facilitator and not a preventer ...things will happen.
So we need to start from where we are....deal with what we are/have and evolve.
