When reviewing an ad for a wall charger it was listed as:

“Amazon Basics 36W 2-Port USB-C Wall Charger (White) $8 ”  But it’s really not 36 watt, it’s 2 ports each at 18w
There are alot of differances in usb wall chargers, here are some spec’s so you can make a better decision

Port Type

• USB (Type-A): The standard rectangular USB port that has been around for years. It’s commonly found on older chargers and supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
• USB-C: A newer, smaller, and reversible connector that’s becoming the standard for many modern devices. It supports faster data transfer and power delivery.

• USB (Type-A) wall chargers are suitable for older devices or when you only need to charge one or two devices at moderate speeds.
• USB-C wall chargers offer faster charging, greater versatility, and are better suited for modern devices, especially those that require higher power levels or faster data transfer rates. If you have multiple devices or a device that supports USB Power Delivery, a USB-C charger is the better choice.

Power Delivery (PD)

• USB (Type-A): Typically delivers 5V at 1A to 2.4A, translating to 5W to 12W of power. Fast charging is possible with technologies like Qualcomm Quick Charge, but it’s limited compared to USB-C.
• USB-C: Supports USB Power Delivery (PD), which allows for higher power levels. USB-C chargers can deliver up to 100W, which is enough to charge not only smartphones but also laptops. This makes USB-C more versatile for charging a wider range of devices.

Compatibility

• USB (Type-A): Compatible with a wide range of older devices. Many accessories and cables are available for Type-A ports, but it’s gradually being phased out.
• USB-C: Compatible with newer devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other peripherals. USB-C is becoming the universal standard, with many manufacturers moving towards it.

Charging Speed

• USB (Type-A): Can support fast charging but is limited by the power delivery capabilities of the port (typically up to 12W or 18W with Quick Charge).
• USB-C: With USB Power Delivery (PD), it can charge devices much faster, delivering up to 100W, which is sufficient for most modern smartphones, tablets, and even some laptops.

For those who don’t understand what Chevron Deference is, and why SCOTUS ended it, here’s the long and short of it: A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business, because they couldn’t afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the National Marine Fisheries Service to monitor their company. The thing is, federal law doesn’t authorize NMFS to charge businesses for this. They just decided to start doing it in 2013. Why did they think they could away with just charging people without any legal authorization? Because in 1984, in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the “experts” in their field, and the courts should just defer to their “interpretation” of the law. So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to “interpret” laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it. It was called Chevron Deference, and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country. It’s how the OHSA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab, or be fired. No law gave them that authority, they just made it up. It’s how the ATF was able to decide a piece of plastic was a “machine gun”. It’s how the NCRS was able to decide that a small puddle was a “protected wetlands”. It’s how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air, and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them, because they were the “experts”. Imagine if your local police could just arrest you, for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you’d actually committed a crime or not. Just off to jail you go. That’s what Chevron Deference was. It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone. Thankfully, it’s now gone. We haven’t even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used, for years to come, to roll back federal agencies, and we’ll all be better of for it. And that’s why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.

Is this a correct analysis?

The lower prices of junk food and GMOs are a result of significant government subsidies, lower production costs due to conventional farming methods, economies of scale, and market dynamics that favor these products.
In contrast, organic foods are more expensive due to fewer subsidies, higher production costs, smaller economies of scale, and additional costs associated with organic certification and distribution.
Addressing these price disparities would require policy changes that shift subsidies towards organic farming, improve efficiency in organic production, and account for the true environmental and health costs of food production.

• The true cost of junk food and GMOs is not fully reflected in their market prices. Environmental degradation, health impacts, and other externalities are not factored into the cost consumers pay.
• Organic foods, by aiming to minimize these negative externalities, incur higher production costs that are reflected in higher prices for consumers.

The disparity in pricing between junk food, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and organic foods is influenced by several key factors, including government subsidies, production costs, and market dynamics.

I knew they were producing their own bug killer

Bt crops, which are genetically modified to produce proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), are a prominent example of GMOs designed to improve pest resistance. Issues Risk of Bt genes transferring to wild relatives of crops through cross-pollination, potentially creating wild plants with Bt properties. This could disrupt local ecosystems and biodiversity.

Bt toxins are released into the soil from crop residues and roots, which can affect soil microorganisms. The long-term impact on soil health and microbial communities is an area of ongoing research.

Another reason to find local grown healthy foods Small-scale and organic farmers may struggle to compete with larger producers of GMOs, affecting their livelihoods and contributing to economic disparities in the agricultural sector.
