Lanier suggests taxing tech companies for use of information, which would make tech more costly to consumers like me. This would slow tech's removal of jobs.

On substance, you have given up trying to draw a distinction between tech and every other business that would like to save money by hiring fewer workers.
As I said before, I'm sympathetic to taxing or regulating tech more. If you were really interested in the subject, you would say more instead of just name dropping Lanier.
Why just tax "tech companies" for use of information? Why not tax other businesses too?
