The number is actually much higher. Those government subsidies for the 'select few' sugar farmers are used to raise the price every American pays for sugar. This article estimates that it is costing US consumers $47B.
If you will look Google maps you can see a gigantic sugar operation right south of Lake Okeechobee. In the middle of it is a plant that converts sugar cane into another subsidized product, ethanol, for a gasoline additive. This operation is so large it cuts off all of the natural flow between Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades forcing it into canals.
Simply get the sugar farmer's hands out of the government money and all of this would collapse since the entire operation is uneconomical without government support.

I don't see why this is news. It is common for large companies to dump their bottom 5% of performers annually. Some even dump their bottom 10%. Of course, this is no fun if you are one of the ones impacted.
The fees are higher because of Prime and Amazon processing returns. Plus I found that Amazon will give you refunds with problem vendors and then deal with the vendor for you. So you do get something for those higher fees.
This does not make sense: "Moneual purported to charge ASI and Newegg between $2,530 and $2,980 per HTPC unit, and those amounts were stated on the invoices and purchase orders from ASI and Newegg upon which the Banks advanced funds to Moneual. However, the Banks later learned that in reality, the HTPCs were only worth $8 per unit."
How can an HTPC be worth $8? Newegg still has empty Moneual cases listed for $70. Depending on what it was filled with in 2012 $2,530 is not an impossible price. $8 seems close to the shipping cost, not the product cost.
It is political suicide to mess with the baby boom voting block. There are a lot of them and that group will turn out 90% if their benefits are going to be cut. Also, backlash like that is justified. I have been paying into SS/Medicare my entire life. I expect something back for those years of payments. If I don't get it I will certainly express my displeasure at the voting booth.
Growth can really be juiced by changing immigration policies to favor younger, educated, wealthy people, but that is apparently politically unpalatable.
Random article says that in ten years 40% of voters will be baby boomers. That is because the elderly are much more likely to vote than the young. Peak year of baby boomer power will be 2029.
Printing money will have two effects, first, it will make the nation (and everyone else's) debt disappear. Making the debt disappear removes the interest burden from the budget freeing up money for SS/Medicare. But the second effect is a major problem, it will also make the assets of the elderly disappear which might lead to an even worse outcome. At least without high inflation, they will still have those assets to pay for things the government drops the ball on.
The only solution that makes everyone happy is to have 3%+ economic growth for the next twenty years. If that happens the increased tax collections from the expanding economy are enough to make the SS/Medicare problem go away. In the economic world, growth solves all problems since it effectively creates money from thin air. Do the math, 3% growth for 24 years will double tax collections without counting inflation gains or raising tax rates.
I agree that neither party is remotely ready for the impact of the baby boom fully retiring. A huge day of reckoning is looming when the baby boom asks for their Social Security and Medicare and then discover that the cupboard is bare and those IOU's at the Fed are worthless because the money has been spent. I have no clue how this will get resolved, but it is not going to be pretty.
Making a business of copyright violation is wrong. I'm also ok with individuals violating the GPL among a few friend too. The custom of sharing among a few friends has been with us for thousands of years. The operative would here is 'few'. The societal problem is commercial scale copyright infringement, not individual.
If you have a business model that needs broad involvement of the police force to make it succeed, then you need a new business model because the taxpayers are not going support you co-opting the public police force to push your crazy business model. The police arresting a few commercial scale infringers is ok, the police arresting half the population is not ok.
It is a matter of degree. Making a business of copyright violation should be quickly shut down and punished by the legal system. Individuals violating copyright is a business model problem and should be addressed by providing the copyright materials to the individuals in a form that they will accept - such as streaming music and Netflix.
It is simple to comply with the GPL if you want to. It is another level to willfully disregard it and make a business around that disregard. So it is fine with me to give a grace period to come into compliance, but then if you choose not to comply either honor the terms and lose your license or else face the legal consequences.
It does not take a rocket scientist to see multiple pairs of logins from two different accounts usually coming from the same IP address and to then guess it is the same person or a couple. In either case, it is obvious for Facebook's algorithms to assume the two accounts are related.
So many people ignore that fact that the IP address you logged in from is a very good way to track and associate your accounts. It is also how websites penetrate incognito mode.
It trivial for Facebook to link the identities, she is using the same IP address to log in for both of them. It is then reasonable for the Facebook algorithm to guess that people logging in from the same IP address are related somehow.
Software is in its infancy, it will still be going strong 200 years from now. We have barely scratched the surface of what is possible. Just look at the rise of self-driving cars. A huge revolution will occur when someone figures out how to get AIs to write decent software. So don't give up on your software startup yet, instead focus on the future and don't don't try to rebuild past successes.

Ridiculous. Uber did not exist ten years ago. Plus 95% of the population have never used them.
Because firemen are required to wait and Uber drivers aren't.
Seems there was a hiccup at slashdot.
