Proof of Stake (PoS) is just dollar bonds without regulations. There's no "difficulty adjustment" to minimize profits, so inequality will just get worse and worse.

This is the "carbon footprint" fallacy created by big oil. We should vote left and unionize until either the external cost of pollution is internalized with pigouvian taxes, or electricity is rationed by a community-owned organization.

Nobody will notice us shooting ourselves in the foot and expecting corporations to do it too. They don't care if we lead by example unilaterally.

They're betting on getting bailed out and outlasting the strike. For that, it's perfect timing to deny the union a deal.

As in the way humans lived for most of the time we've been humans.

So then why does it matter that the average was brought down by higher child mortality? We're just comparing average life spans, not adding conditions, right?

I'm speaking of natural humans, not humans during the 18th century. And I'm counting children.

Nearly doubling is still very good! In case this needs to be said, I'm on team science, not team antivax.

I think everybody else was inferring a healthy 25 year old man, not life expectancy from birth (counting children).

Or their idea of "natural" is 18th century France.
