We are going the totalitarian route. Ministry of Truth will tell what numbers are legal and which ones are. Publishing data that goes against a narrative is a high crime punishable by Goolags. I know it might be news for the kids but this is a common practice in Socialist countries.

The inflation rate is a hate number and banned from all platforms. Enforced by the Soviet Ministry of Truth called Pravda the russian translation of Truth.

I am puzzled how quickly something Americans were completely scared about is being so beloved by people. Do we really see ourselves as so despicable that we want to replace individual speech with government speech ?

Nonsense. We're currently doing nothing, equivalent of no route at all. We have regulations for many other areas - and for good reasons too. Saying there is a playing field is not at all totalitarian, and shouldn't really be seen as that extreme of an idea.

I also dont see why a notion of "freedom of chance" could not go both ways: "the totalitarian route" would offer equally little _chance__for the individual.
