The U.S government wants to crack down on the ballooning energy consumption of Bitcoin miners.

    Because companies > people in the eyes of the state.

      It depends on which state, which is even more sad.

      It’s more like companies = jobs in the eyes of voters.

      ETA: What’s with the downvotes? You guys think this is wrong?

        I have never once gave a flying fuck about a nebulous concept of “jobs.”

          Sounds like you are in a very good position to appreciate how the average voter feels about this.

          ETA: I think we’d all be better off if people had a more realistic and practical attitude to jobs.
