I find it fascinating that there are more than 11,000 tax jurisdictions in the USA[0]. I think the comparison is interesting, as I'm sure many of these are ignored by many online retailers. It seems like there are some efforts at standardizing Sales Tax approaches across the country. Similar efforts could be interesting for consumer protections.

That’s 11,000 jurisdictions just for sales tax. There are many other jurisdictions not listed there that impose other types of taxes.
