Comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption
Yeah, buy taxing them properly, and not just putting the tax on the individual
How would you implement that? Like, how do you propose to impose a tax on the company that they can’t just pass along to the customer?
I don’t know, maybe a LAW that forces companies to eat the cost?
But hey even with our carbon tax, our Canadian companies are still making yearly record, so that’d good right?
How would that law work? Unless you’re setting the price as a matter of law, how could you ever prove that a price rise was because of the tax and not “other economic factors”?
I don’t know dude. I’m just a Canadian trying to get by.
Maybe political just need to be good people and make laws that benefit us and not themselves and cooperations?
