Intel definitely isn't going to give up. I'd also be really surprised if the government doesn't start subsidizing Intel and AMD just to make sure the U.S. has fabrication technology "in house."
It does do that. It can end up in plenty of places other than a beach. I'm sure you have some sort of environment around you. It's senseless waste. The report goes into how often plastics tend to escape waste management systems. It doesn't have to be purposeful pollution.
But it's not about one straw, it's about an aggregate effect.
All in all, that's a pretty myopic and disingenuous question.
Polluting less is actually grandstanding and curtails individual freedom. Doing something good actually pisses people off and makes them hate initiatives that constructively help a problematic situation.
But it's definitely not a societal problem, American's toxic bratty attitude should be catered to so they don't get personally offended. We should definitely blame the people eliciting change.

I'm sorry, where are you getting this from? That seems contradictory to common knowledge in this subject, and if you want to do a silly thing like label certain behaviors "liberal" or "conservative" in the context of U.S. politics.
>there are plenty of ACH/SWIFT transfers that are actually just people moving money from account to account or institution to institution too, rather than actual inter-party transactions.
You're transferring banking systems/locations. That affects money supply, transfer fee's, lending, etc. It definitely has an economic impact, far larger than transferring bitcoins around.
>the Delta and Long March families are very large and very old and if you count the earliest attempts of governments to build ICBMs you get reliability figures worse than SpaceX.

You can click on each rocket and look at the launch history. I am again, done with this conversation because of how disingenuous you are willing to be.
