1·2 years agoYou can afford insurance and still go bankrupt.
“Medical expenses directly cause 66.5% of bankruptcies, making it the leading cause for bankruptcy. Additionally, medical problems that lead to work loss cause 44% of bankruptcies”
Blue state cab be better…
But these stats are concerning. More herehttps://www.retireguide.com/retirement-planning/risks/medical-bankruptcy-statistics/#:~:text=Medical%20expenses%20directly%20cause%2066.5,loss%20cause%2044%25%20of%20bankruptcies.

Technology@lemmy.world•Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumptionEnglish
1014·2 years ago“Research has found that bitcoin miners alone consume approximately between 60 to 125 TWh of energy annually, which is equivalent to around 0.6% of global electricity”
“Traditional banks’ total annual energy consumption of traditional banks is around 26 TWh on running servers, 26 TWh on ATMs, and 87 TWh from an estimate of 600k+ branches worldwide. Totaling 139 TWh.”
Not to mention banks impact on people’s lives. Limited purchasing power of the poor and soon to join them middle class… to purchase disposable products

28·2 years agoVs. Banks. That have offices, branches, atms, data centers… banking does use more energy yearly. So why not both invest in renewables

29·2 years agoLets talk about the bank branchs, data centers, and energy consumption vs crypto.
"Research has found that bitcoin miners alone consume approximately between 60 to 125 TWh of energy annually, which is equivalent to around 0.6% of global electricity
“Traditional banks’ total annual energy consumption of traditional banks is around 26 TWh on running servers, 26 TWh on ATMs, and 87 TWh from an estimate of 600k+ branches worldwide. Totaling 139 TWh.”
Not to mention banks impact on people’s lives. Limited purchasing power of the poor and soon to join them middle class… to purchase disposable products. Like the old tale of buying a expensive boot vs a cheap one.
I’m all for less power usage … but seems like a witch hunt compared to what banking gets away w. It’s the the first time banks can point the finger at someone other then themselves.

3·2 years agoTo the feds “we are independent Texas Tough” , “Join the national grid? screw you!” , “our state, our decision to remove womans rights!” “Don’t tell me feds!!”
To Biden “pwease help us and secure our bowder… we suck at it”
When a menial worker complains their menial job doesn’t pay enough. Boomers sing “that’s not a real job” then expect those same people to have kids to support their greed.
Great point.
