Bonuses are usually taxed at 30% (at least mine were when I worked in private sector). It's better to get that money as regular salary and pay a lower tax rate on it.
Is this ridesharing, where the title suggest that you're just sharing your vehicle on the way to a prescheduled event. Or are these people professional taxi drivers?
Did the Earth wobble more before the ice age compacted the surface? What's the correct amount of wobble? What's the best temperature for the planet? Who gets to decide all of this?

#2 is false. If you remove all subsidies from the prices then fossil fuels are still cheaper. At one point wind power was being subsidized by federal and state governments to the tune of over 50% of the cost.
There's over 100,000 businesses in the US and this article focuses on 300 of them. Less than 1%. It's a rounding error. That's not how the majority of businesses are run.
head on, replacing land lines. Home broadband is incredibly profitable. I pay $100/mo for mine and by all accounts it costs somewhere between $9-$13 (depending on who you ask, since you can only get an estimate out of their SEC filings these days). There's a _lot_ of room for profit there.
I can guarantee it costs more than $13/mo to deliver services to the home. Providing the bandwidth is by far the cheapest part and that's probably where you got your numbers. But the infrastructure is insanely expensive. Poles, pedestals, boring, terminations, repairs, etc. There's a log of material and labor cost in there that needs to be spread over several years. And then figure out that not everyone in the neighborhood or town will actually pay for the service. You might get lucky and get 25% of the people to purchase the service.
The problem is that everyone wants something for nothing. It doesn't exist. Socialism has been tried many times on many levels and it simply doesn't work.
Capitalism has a successful record. It has raised more people up from poverty than any other system in history. But you have to work for it.
As far as the U.S. college debt situation: look at who is running it: Government. Is adding more government to the problem going to solve it? Probably not. Be smart about it. Use community college (or high school) to get GE requirements done cheaply. Get a job to help offset some of the cost, don't just use the college loans to pay for 100% the cost. Use credit cards wisely and don't spend money you don't have. Don't eat out. Ramen noodles and PB&J are your friends.
Before entering college for that 4 year degree, be absolutely certain that's what you want to do. Most of my friends that graduated college aren't using their degree in their current field. Hell, some didn't need a 4 year degree at all.
Trade schools. Seriously. Use them. These careers can be very rewarding and pay very good salaries. Less student debt, start a career earlier and start saving for retirement earlier.
Many 4 year college grads have the equivalent of a home mortgage when they leave school. That's bad for many reasons and a drain on the economy.
Obviously I'm posting generalities. But they are truths. In the U.S. you are responsible for your education after high school. Choose wisely.
Government run education is extremely costly. In my home state they decided to offer free preschool to everyone. In my blue-collar town of 25,000 where up to 40% of the population is receiving some type of government assistance our preschool participation rate was 96%. After "free" preschool was announced by the state the cost per pupil per year went from $1,200 to $3,700 in one year. The new participation rate was still 96%. Why did the state government run program cost 3 times more to run than the private and community based system? Nobody seems to know. How do you suppose that would translate at the college level if college were determined to be "free"?
Probably because the majority of the population is poor and is more focused on food and shelter than using the intarwebz. If their Dear Leader gets his shit in order and decides to play nice with developed nations then their county will prosper. Until then...
Pay isn't everything, but it is the real reason we work.
I approached upper management 2 years prior to my leaving. Asked to have my salary aligned with other companies in town (~26,000 population). I was about $25K behind the average of the other IT directors that managed a staff like mine, which were making $90k+. Even city and county government employees were making more than I was for far smaller setups. I asked for a plan to gradually bring me up, offering several fair options. After about a year I was given a 6% raise and was told that was all they could do. I was gracious for the change, but I knew that this was it, and that I had no future with the company after 13 years.
Later that year I became aware of an opening that would be posted for a state government position. It was a lead position for network/security, so no management roles. I took the job that ended up paying me 50% more for less responsibilities. I offered to help assess potential replacements, and also to meet with them after they were hired to bring them up to speed. Neither offer was taken up.
My former employer didn't fill my director position. They hired a "senior network admin" instead with far less experience. And then they paid him more money than I made....for less work.....and less experience. Former coworkers told me that they were told that the new guy came from a very similar environment. It turns out that it wasn't true. No experience with WAN/MPLS, no experience with virtualization, no experience with layer 7 firewalls, no IP voice experience, and on and on... I feel bad for my former coworkers and friends.
So now I'm working 40 hours a week instead of 60+. I'm making 50% more in pay. My benefits are magnitudes better. Stress levels are far lower. Quality of life is better. That's why I quit/moved on.
Not sure what the big whoop is. 35mm has just as good resolution than 4k, and if you take into account the compression that typically comes with 4k then 35mm would be superior.
In court, they say [what ought to be] the truth. In public, they are completely permitted to lie. I do believe Jerry Springer said it best, a very long time ago.
The problem is the CEO said the opposite in his testimony to Congress. So they have committed perjury in one of these venues.
I want to own the art and hold it. Just like any other art form. I want to have the album, and read the liner notes. I also want to be able to rip the audio to any format I see fit. I don't stream and I hate most lossy compressed formats (even SiriusXM).
We all have smartphones already. Their maps are constantly up to date. Why would I want to use outdated maps in my vehicle? The importance of the vehicle's entertainment system is lessening (is that a word?). Phones and tablets have overtaken the pricey navigation and DVD systems.

So you dont know either? Ok.
Who gets to decided what the best temperature is? Or what the best rate of warming/cooling is?

I want permanent DST all year long. And I voted for Trump.

No, they are not. Oracle is relatively new to cloud services. They fought it for years. AWS has been in cloud services much longer.

If the battery was removable then the government would be able to track and listen when the device was "off". ;)
...they sure do edit and moderate a lot of the content. Weird.
The real question is why is Yahoo #4?

This is a matter for the states. they are in control of their voting machines, not the federal government.

Montenez claimed he had forgotten his password.
Right here is where he failed. He should have told the judge he was invoking his fifth amendment right rather than claim he "forgot" the password.
That was my first thought as well.

I'm not sure about production of it though.

This was my first thought as well. Look at water that is diverted from neighboring states into California, specifically southern California.
We have large amounts of people moving into deserts, then we move water resources there causing issues where the water should be.
Duh...
