Probably either Bio (vegan) or Artemesia (not-so-strict-vegetarian). Or green bamboo. But the reason you found lots of vegeterian restaurants is not surprising: you were a tourist in a touristy area, and it's mainly tourists that look

This is true, but the end of your post implies that recessions have become rarer and less pronounced in a fiat system. They haven't. In other words, sure, central banks "flooded the markets with capital and blunted the impact of t
