as Argentinian , other south American country we have cities without energy next to power generation plants, and subsidizes for sector who don needed (residential downtown) but have political influence, i live in the richest and biggest cities of my country and i have subside transportation while,in the north who have a lot less resource pay the full tariffs only because my cities have more political influence in national elections.


Thanks I learned too.

Allow me to contribute a bit and please don't take this the wrong way. I understand why you are using tariff. You are using the spanish tarifa.

The word commonly used to represent bus payments is "fare" (train fare, etc). Hope this helps!.

Tariff in english is commonly used instead to refer to the word "arancel" i.e. the cost to export / import food, etc.


Thanks for the insight. Gives a whole new meaning to the "Bitcoin farming uses more energy than Argentina" catchphrase

I'm not arguing pro or against Bitcoin, just stating reality is nuanced.
