Really, it's more the powerful lobbying of Archer Daniels Midland, which does most of the corn processing in this country. The fact the the first caucus (not the first primary--that's in New Hampshire. Iowa's caucus is before New Hampshire's primary, though) is in Iowa doesn't hurt though, I'd imagine.
Apparently because of safety considerations, they really want a four-engine plane. But those are getting scarce on the ground. Jet engines are getting big and reliable enough that even the largest jets made these days have only two engines.
Over 50 years ago, they indeed had no practical use. For a some years a common quip about the laser was that it was "a solution in search of a problem." It wasn't until the 1970s that any widespread applications were invented (barcode scanners were the first one).
The problem is that rewriting your debt repayment obligations without the consent of the debt holders is called "default", and the results can be fairly drastic.
Otherwise, that could seriously change "modern" warfare. "Umm, general, they seem to be using things made of rope, wood, and stone... none of our technology seems to have any effect."
Heh. Have you read Poul Anderson's The High Crusade? A medieval English village beats a small extraterrestrial invasion force, in part because of just that.
no, the problem is the pharmaceutical industry (in the case of opiates, which USED TO BE LEGAL
And when they were legal, the pharmaceutical industry sold them. Made a tidy amount of money at it, too. Why would they want to ban them?
the paper industry (WHICH USED TO BE MADE FROM HEMP)
Well, no, at least in the larger sense. There are a few isolated documented cases of making paper from hemp, but for the most part, mass production of paper has always been from wood pulp. I've heard that processing hemp into paper is actually more expensive than using wood pulp, but I can't verify that.
They're *getting* advice. That's the problem. They're getting *bad* advice, and they can't tell the difference.
How do they judge "much better product"? Is non-GMO "much better", in spite of the fact that extensive research hasn't turned up proof of *any* bad effects, and can provide effective nutritional advantages in many cases?

We can disagree over the rights of herd immunity, but those who maintain that refusal to vaccinate hurts only the one who refuses, as the OP argued, are just plain ignorant of the facts.

That would be because the less you pay in taxes, the more profitable you are.
Truly, we are all elevated by your insightful and witty debate.

Well, sure. Otherwise the money will go to someone who doesn't make campaign contributions...er, that is, isn't American!
Bah. The BBC has been simulating a time machine for decades.
U is for Underwater. I assume the data center is not submerged.
That's Town*send*.
Sci-fi had pew-pew-pew long before there were lasers. Ask Buck Rogers. Or Kimball Kinnison--he'll be happy to show you his DeLamaters.
Who said anything about dying? Obviously, the man is playing a round of bridge.

Just selected people in Turkey. For now.
Unless you're in China, where it's understood to be something different. Or Japan. Or Korea. Or...

Well, of course. I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.
They've unboiled an egg. They haven't unscrambled one.
Presumably one in which there isn't even a facade of having rules--just whatever the boss says, goes, and they admit that's the case.

Aw, I wanted to do that joke! Give my regards to Pixie and Dixie.
