  • Sovereign governments collect taxes to destroy money, not to fund things. They can fund things by creating money from thin air; the taxes are to remove money from circulation and control inflation.

    That said, a government can decide what it wants to tax, and how much. Sales taxes hurt economic activity, and fall disproportionately on the poor, so a high sales tax is generally bad. You can either have a higher tax specifically for luxuries, or instead charge a wealth / income tax.







  • That guide seems broadly correct, based on my experience unlocking an Indian MiUI device. But the exact steps and script vary slightly based on region (EU / India / China) and OS (MiUI vs HyperOS, with HyperOS being much harder to unlock). Guides might have bad English because most are written by Indians and Russians. You’ll have to put up with that. You can find help forums on Telegram, but avoid the scam ones (lots of ad-like posts from a single account, with no replies from other members).



  • Is your phone running MiUI or HyperOS? And which country are you and the phone from?

    The unlocking procedure is generally easier for models running MiUI, and for Indian / European devices, than for HyperOS / Chinese devices.

    If rooting is too difficult for you, and your problem is with a single app, you can kill that app alone from Android Debug Bridge or using Universal Android Debloater. You might need to do this again after major version OS updates.
