@dang I'd urge you not to ban/shadow-ban my account considering I openly represent a political minority here at HN during a very turbulent time politically in the world where people are often afraid to speak up. Banning people like me would just increase the echo-chamber that already exists at HN. If my opinions were as strong in the other political direction, I'd probably be getting praised left and right.

While I agree some of my comments as of late would be considered "breaking guidelines", most of my comments are conversation provoking, and often include sources.

And FYI in this particular situation, it's pretty frustrating to see people not only make numerical claims without providing sources, but then confidently respond to being called out with an anecdotal "well my 1 doctor friend told me...." response. Only for them to be provided further false-confidence by you swooping in with the ban-hammer based on some arbitrary "site guideline".

> Do nothing?

Yes. If the currently available options intended to fix a particular problem don't actually fix the problem while at the same time make the offending business more powerful while making the little guy less powerful...then yes, doing nothing is clearly a better option in the short term.

In other words, crypto miners are investing in lobbyists.

No, you are delusional. This is called sexism, but you can't admit what's right in front of your face.

Your covid numbers are 100x skewed and essentially fake.

No, you didn't.
