I mean, I don’t mean to be a dick, but… is the government not supposed to know about international spending? That feels like something we should keep track of. For legal tax reasons, as well as illegal drug, smuggling, and trafficking reasons. Just kinda feels like a normal thing to track, yunno for the government.

Plus don’t they need to know how their citizens are making them reliant on each other, even in non-criminal ways? For economic development, critical trade deals, embargoes and the like? Seems like it’s important information to have.
