@rbreich @sunscream it’s not much work. People pay TurboTax to do just that. And my insurer can prefill a form that would cover nearly all of my medical expenses that can be uploaded to the irs. Also, the standard deduction covers 87% of filers as of 2019.

@rbreich @sunscream for a typical filer, most of these numbers are easily calculated from data already available to the government. I think the reasonable model is to have a standard form with your numbers filled in by the irs, with questions that could lead to recalculating for specific exceptions / situations. Ie pretty much what TurboTax etc charges people for.

Welp, I'm giving another talk on satellite pollution so I have to update the numbers in my slides.

*checks https://planet4589.org/space/con/star/stats.html and https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/table.php?GROUP=active&FORMAT=tle*

Oh crap, there are 150 more Starlinks than when I gave a talk on this topic 1 month ago.

3908 Starlink satellites out of 7545 total satellites.

52% of all sats now owned by one awful dude. Still with effectively no regulations. This is so bad.
