The media use the term 'violence' to describe the actions of the protesters in LA, but do not use the term 'violence' for the often violent actions of ICE and the police?
Why? Is an action no longer violent if it is committed by someone with a uniform working for the State?

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline.
That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production.
Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.
