How so?

Iran doesn't need to launder money to buy electricity in their own country.

It seems you misunderstand. Illicit fiat and extortion can be used to access energy to mine Bitcoin, effectively laundering that illicit fiat.

That sums up the dilemma.

Killing the pipeline will help but not in a vacuum. Continued policy/pressure needs to be applied to move away from oil, which is probably best for the sake of the world.

Exactly, what's the catch?

How does Microsoft come to own all of open-source? That's the plan, right?

Yes, the problem is Republicans. And yes, that problem has yet to be solved.

The cost-per-search is negligible even if every user had to pay. Instead of running the search the government could implement policies that make search advertising illegal and thus forcing another business model.

Pay-per-search would be cheap enough for municipalities to negotiate subscriptions for their entire broadband network as a part of broadband service.

Because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it shouldn't happen.

Maybe Google is the last straw that leads to proper governance of utilities in the public's interest.

Is that true though? "Ordinary people" also have to pay additional fees (ex. Mortgage insurance), have higher interest rates, and have access to fewer high-interest investment opportunities.

I mean, I'm glad I didn't HELOC my way to a few Bitcoin last month, so maybe it's best we leave these tricks to the rich folk anyway.
