    It should be illegal to not have them

      Anytime someone says “there sight to be a law that…” there almost always shouldn’t be.

      Agreed. Or at least, customers should only be liable for expenses they incur up to the hard caps they set.

      If you don’t have a mechanism for enforcing hard caps, you don’t get to send customers a bill for unlimited amounts.

      Probably should also have spend controls for gambling too but seems like we're a long ways off from good legislation there.

      we should make it illegal to be unhappy too, that way we can solve depression!

      Everyone in this thread should be vibe coding legislation with lean 4. We can at least have utopia for a couple months.
