alt Hacker NewsThis is what legitimate government looks like. Leaders actually advocating for the people who are being deceived by those in power instead of helping those in power.
While this may be a trivial issue, being able to cancel a gym or newspaper subscription, it sends a signal. Companies need to view customers as partners in a business transaction and not objects to be exploited.

Do you mean good government? Or well-functioning? Any government that is formed legally is legitimate.
Lol wait for enforcement before declaring victory

Who is deceiving who now? And I'm not sure who is in power here...
I have similar feelings.
I am sympathetic to a perspective that says this is not the responsibility of a mayor of a single city... But also; who else is going to do it?
Normal people have very little say over the politicians that govern them in larger electoral regions like states or provinces, and maybe this can signal to other levels of government that they should implement similar rules... If it works.
