Most people can't afford one

Electricity is considerably more expensive, people that leave paycheck to paycheck would not be able to afford it

Here are somethings YOU can do personally to help:

- Never fly in an airplane again

- Never use ANY vehicle again, walk everywhere(yes EVs also pollute)

- In the winter, don't turn on the heat.

- Eat only vegetables and things you don't need to cook

- etc

If you are not doing ALL OF THESE you have no right on telling other people how they produce their CO2.

> "It's very rare to really see a policy like the minimum wage lead to restaurants exiting the market unless they were already marginally on the edge of making it or not making it"

This seems like a gift to big corporations.

The big guy can take the hit from the raise.

It's the small guy who is affected the most.

This would be so easy with the Lightning Network. In general payments are just better. No need to input your personal info No need to give away you CC

Just scan a QR code and you are good to go.

Even bitcoin on-chain no longer has those high fees it had in 2017.

Also, Bitcoin has lightning now. A second layer protocol that allows fast and cheap payments. Like less of a penny cheap.

This.

I did an experiment to make the algorithm think I'm left wing on alternate accounts.

Not to much time passed before my feed was filled with the most hideous and stupid things some "right wing" people did.

It is the same on my primary accounts but the other way around.

No wonder we hate each other.

..begins with an unscientific sentence:

"This summer’s series of extreme wildfires, hurricanes, and tropical storms have made it more apparent than ever that the effects of climate change are here."
