PoW is far from immune to it as the Chinese have proven, as they hold roughly 49% of all BTC and 65% of all mining capacity on the planet.

To a point, but that trust by the public can be easily swayed and destroyed - see Biden pick Janet Yellen and her recent comments about how BTC is used for and good for nothing but criminal activity including that by state sponsors of terro

I can make a complete surf-n-turf meal for a shorter amount of time than that, on top of the fact many people hate things like lentils and cottage cheese. When discussing meat replacements, you have to not just look at cost, but what people

The farming industry in California would be non-existent without constant subsidizing both of the crops and the extraordinarily wasteful and expensive importing of water from numerous other states to prevent the farmland that was originally

You're missing the part where those government subsidies are being issued to growers who provide products certified for the SNAP and WIC programs. You remove the subsidies and mess with the tariffs too much and now you're into a w

We import those products like garlic and broccoli from China as part of a trade deal where they import corn and other grains even though they can and do produce their own. They have many more mouths to feed, so on their end, getting all of

Broadly speaking it boils down to collectivism vs individualism and authoritarian vs libertarian on an x,y economic axis. The social z axis defining "left" and "right" (more accurately progressive and conservative) is a

You're correct, government in the USA and Australia for instance, is massively profit-taking via the taxes to the point that they are taking in more revenue per pack than the tobacco companies.
