Can anyone explain why this could be a good tax because I&#x27;m not seeing it? On the surface this seems incredibly stupid.<p>* Not taxing money directly but instead &quot;usage.&quot;<p>* Taxing behavior you&#x27;re trying to encourage.<p>* Pushing businesses away from software that allows for environmentally sound practices like paperless operations and remote work.<p>* &quot;Cloud computing&quot; is effectively a proxy for business activity and it&#x27;s a really bad one.
