Which is why they're building a lot of it, but it's also not reliable and cannot be the sole power source. They need things like coal for backup when wind/solar fail due to a lack of wind and sun.

Coal is a short term benefit, cleaner air a longer term one.
If you lose in the short term, you might not be around to reap the long term benefits.

The doubts will last for as long as the depression, during which the wealthy will be buying up bitcoin like mad. Once Bitcoin heads back into the 100k region, everyone will decide it IS digital gold, and push it up higher, at which point the wealthy will sell off, causing a collapse that the "everyone elsers" essentially pay for, and the cycle will continue.

And that is all bitcoin is. It's all the stock market is, too. A tool for pumping money from 401K plans and the gambling poor into the hands of the wealthy.

He's a Martian robot spy send to sabotage the Earth prior to the invasion.

He probably bought shares in the company that makes the bars and considered that good enough.

Duggan: You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Romana: If YOU wanted an omelette, I'd expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames and an unconscious chef.

I dunno, I.... just connect this scene to Musk's diabolical plans.

Misread that as "lunches" and wondered when SpaceX started hiring hobbits from the Shire.

Hmmmm. Microsoft did just fine with lying (even in court), and Enron would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids and their mangy brownouts.

Psychologists argue that a primary trait of a good CEO is psychopathy, since it requires a personality that has no remorse or compassion and a willingness to do whatever it takes.

Global isn't the problem, it's central control by a foreign entity which is the issue.

Linux is global, and even tho Linus lives in the US and is thus beholden to US law any changes forced by the government would be noticeable, and foreign users could create a fork that's free of further US influence.
The same can't be said of commercial operations - even when a US based company has an EU division, they are ultimately answerable to the US based bosses and thus by extension to the US government. Sure they may store data on servers physically in the EU, but that doesn't do much good if the people managing those servers answer to foreigners.

In many places fresh foods are significantly more expensive than fast food, and less widely available which becomes a problem for people without transportation.
A lot of people also have to work long hours and don't have time to prepare food, so they buy ready prepared.

Or it means they added something else instead of sugar, usually something much worse.

Unfortunately the "solution" often given for too much sugar, is to replace it with artificial substitutes. This introduces a new problem - things that we haven't traditionally consumed which have unknown long term effects not just on people's bodies but in some cases on the environment too when these things enter the water system.

The key point in your statement is "unhealthy levels", salt sugar and fat are fine in moderation, in fact our bodies require some level of each of these in order to function at all. Replacing them with unnatural substitutes just makes things worse, reducing excessive consumption is the answer.

However reducing consumption is fundamentally incompatible with a for-profit food delivery model. No food producer wants you to eat less, so they introduce all these artificial additives so they can claim there's less (salt|fat|sugar) and that therefore you can now eat even more.

That "processing" is limited to cutting. The nutritional content of the meat is not changed, it's only cut into smaller pieces.
You could say fresh vegetables were processed in the same way since they were cut from the plant.

When people talk about processing they're talking about processes which add or remove ingredients, or change its form significantly. Processed meat is generally subjected to a process like smoking, or is ground, mixed with other additives and possibly cooked.

There used to be a social stigma about being fat in western countries too. Now "fat shaming" is punished and the narrative pushed is "its ok to be fat". The inevitable outcome of this is that more people will be overweight.
You need the stigma and shaming as a form of motivation. Like you pointed out, healthy food is available, exercise is available, it just needs motivation to lose weight.

It's cheaper because the chicken nuggets are made from a less desirable waste product. The whole chicken contains the premium pieces (breasts, legs, wings) as well as a small amount of waste.
The chicken nuggets are made from the waste after the prime pieces have been cut off and sold for a higher price. When you buy a bag of chicken nuggets you're not buying whole chicken, you're buying the waste from several chickens where the premium pieces have already been sold.
