Congress stepped in and said that only audiologists can provide hearing aids. Now, Congress has stepped back and allowed you to get a hearing aid from anyone.
So, expensive hearing aids were a result of government intervention. Be careful what you wish for. Congress is not your friend. For further examples, see drug prices, hospitals, and internet.
100 MB/s? Then you can't call it Broadband.
Discriminate against certain traffic? Then you can't call it Internet.
And if you are not selling Internet, then you do not qualify for all the legal protections, subsidies and tax breaks associated with the business.
FTC and FCC already have the tools they need.

If you blow your noise in my ears, the same.

If only taxes were spent on the things you mention. There was a time that that was the case. But today the majority of taxes go to entitlements.
How much tax do you pay?
Disintermediation for the win!
Or an example of long-ago enshittification?
Line 1: Enter how much money you have.
Line 2: Where is this money?
Line 3: No need to send it to us, we shall just take it.

It seems this geothermal power plant has worse emissions per MWh than an equivalent coal-fired unit.
The only way? Really? Your imagination is very, very limited. But I would like to see the science and economics that support your view.
Meanwhile, here is some food for thought: https://www.economist.com/scie...
Don't come crying to me when we blow past 2 deg warming because your emissions efforts were too little, too late and ended up being more expensive than cooling. Good luck, anyway.
We seem to be trapped in a cul-de-sac of emissions reductions, which have become a proxy for reducing global warming. This fixation on emissions is preventing us from addressing the actual problem - global warming.
You might get emissions done, in your dreams. But I thought this was about global warming, not emissions?
I am only reading about a single, solitary solution here - reducing greenhouse gases, albeit by different methods.
Unless and until we realize this is a futile path that will be too little, too late, we are stuck in our own trapped thinking.
Come, let me hear some other solutions!
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
