Right now there is no financial incentive to preserve topsoil. In the future there will be. So why artificially create incentive to pay the higher cost now when we can punt to the future where technology will be so much better and the cost

The question of a lab leak is not incidental. The virus has caused massive suffering (and will continue to as we understand the fallout IMO). If it leaked from a lab and that was hidden from the world we have to wonder how much suffering co
