    I wonder if there will be any unintended consequences to this action.

      Well let you know, NZ’s new conservative government has just done this same thing.

      Unintended consequences? Boost to low end mobile phone sales: kids will buy a shitty phone to surrender at the start of the school day.

          Yep, but it’s relative.

          But then the USA shrieks “communism” about anything that could possibly negatively impact shareholder value.

          In that regard they’re just our incredibly racist, sov. cit. brother that ruins family gatherings.
