Imagine there is a publicly funded burger company. You can eat as many of their burgers as you want as long as you pay a small fee every year, and you can only eat whichever burger is available at that moment. The money you spend on the fee goes to the burger company and pays for their infrastructure and ingredients and employees and such. If you don't want to eat a burger you don't have to pay. Sometimes they will send a man to your house to make sure you aren't just saying you don't want burgers but eating them anyway. You don't have to let him into your home. If they find out you have been eating burgers they will fine you.

@[email protected] Now, imagine if the burger company ran fear mongering campaigns too. Posting billboards up outside of your neighborhood. "There are three people without burger licenses, and there are more burgers being eaten than burgers being paid for. We will find you" alongside tv campaigns where they unveil a "Unlicensed Burger Eating" detector van that drives around neighborhoods. They don’t actually have the technology to detect if you’re eating burgers, but their presence and public reception is that they do. They use this fear to make people pay for burgers even when they don’t need to.

@[email protected] That’d be pretty fucked up I think

@Velveteen is this called the "Big Burger Company" (BBC)?

@puppygirlhornypost2 @Velveteen and imagine that the burgers also had an alternative use besides just being eaten, which didn’t effect the infrastructure that the burger license is supposed to help pay for in the slightest, but then they still went on about how more burgers are sold than there are burger licenses, that’d be especially fucked yeah?
Tbh maybe this one doesn’t work as well with this analogy /srs

TVs are mostly used these days as giant monitors,
or sometimes as a computer w software for streaming stuff either from online or another computer,
and most who have TVs just to use it for that
but the TV license covers actually watching broadcast TV only,
but despite this; they still go on about there being more TVs sold than TV licenses, despite there being a perfectly ‘legit’ explanation as to why this is.
