I live in the PNW. Had a high of 102F a week or so ago. 105F in a neighboring town.

"Accident" may describe the unexpected, unintentional nature of most collisions, but is worthless for describing what actually happened. Distraction, intoxication, carelessness, mechanical failure (a truck tire blowing next to you and taking you out), landslide, flood, weather, visibility, traction failure, on and on the circumstances go...and it's the circumstances that describe the collision. And many of these circumstances are in no way an accident. Collision is a much better word.

Only for certain values of "single...polluter". The value you have selected is akin to "industry", and the pollutants are green house gases. Also, Blockchain is not "wasteful by design".

Not a conservative tactic. Politicians of every persuasion will do this if they can: "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Rahm Emanuel

So you didn't see the "Let me read it first" choice right there on the opening page? One click and there was the article.

You're conflating payer with provider. My health insurance is through Medicare. In over three years I have never been disappointed with the healthcare provided. The county population is about 200,000, with no urban center within hundreds of miles. Yet I can choose from a very broad array of providers in my area. The market for Medicare insured patients is too large for providers to not participate. With Medicare, single payer is not a single choice.
