There is a very good argument as to why the labeling should not be required; the first is simply space. There are all sorts of things various interest groups might want on a label (was this picked by union labor, was it picked by an employer that uses e-Verify, what county was it from, what is the distance from the farm to processing center, and so on); if you allowed every group to force its requirements onto the label, you might simply run out of room.
The second is First Amendment related. Labeling requirements are a form of compelled speech, which the courts generally frown upon unless given a good reason. Since no one has yet to show any actual harm from eating GMO foods, that puts a the burden of proof as to why it needs to be on the label on those desiring the labeling. Look at cigarette labeling for example; the standard Surgeon General's warnings have been ruled okay, but the courts shot down the FDA's attempts to force large, graphic warnings onto cigarette packages, in large part because the FDA couldn't prove that they were more effective than the smaller warnings. Here is an interesting article on that.

Once SpaceX gets its Starlink internet service up and running, everywhere in the US should have access to good internet. The FCC approved them launching a constellation of over 4,000 LEO satellites by 2024, which then will be followed by about 7,000 satellites in even lower orbits. SpaceX has already put the first test satellites into orbit. Though as others have mentioned, dealing with the Radio Quiet Zone regulations might be a problem. The nice thing about LEO satellites is that it fixes the latency issues you see with current geosynchronous satellite internet service; they expect ping times in the 20-40 ms range. And the shear number of satellites will mean adequate bandwidth.

I wonder if the lower trans-fat levels in soy would have any health impacts on the animals that are eating them.
