Unfortunately the last years of the short life are considerably more expensive.
The Government had set up funding to help coal miners, however they found out that black lung was seriously underreported.
That increased demand comes as the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund is stressed. The fund is nearly $6 billion in debt. It has taken on 1,000 claims that were covered by self-insured mining companies until they went bankrupt. And the coal excise tax that supports the fund is set for a 50 percent cut in two years.
However if we double down on rolling back all regulations they could hope for a quick (and cheap) death in a mine collapse.

For owners of teams that get the city to pay for their stadium it's usually the city and tax base that loses out. I've seen a lot of hand waving on the math on how it 'pays for itself' but if that was really the case then the owners should build and buy their own stadiums.
How many cities are still paying for the 'old' stadium?
I've worked remotely for 7 years now and there's definitely a mix of home time vs office time but that's nowhere near 40 hours a week in the office. Thinking about getting up every day at the same time to go sit an office interacting just to interact with people ~1 hour a day seems so archaic.
Additionally I find that I have more time to myself and to work by not going into the office. Ignoring the obvious time savings from commuting, regular errands take much less time because I'm not trying to do them at peak hours. The same grocery list in the same store may take an hour less time on a Tuesday morning than any day after 5 PM. (It doesn't help that the pensioners at that time are fearful of the self checkout lanes.)
What will be their spending power in a few years? Professional sports are trying to maximize short term profits at the expense of future earnings.
My wife are at the leading edge of the millenials and have lost nearly all interest in the sports we grew up watching and now that we have dispensable income we've found other things to spend it on. We grew up fans of certain teams because we watched them with parents and grandparents on free OTA TV.
After we graduated we tried to keep up with our Alma maters and watch our professional teams but the sports industry decided to make that impossible to do. When we were younger we'd go to a bar and try and catch the game but as we aged that became less and less entertaining.
I even tried to pirate streams for a while because the local team decided it didn't fill enough $$$$ seats so they wouldn't air it. Or because we were closer in nautical miles to another sports team AND it was an NFC vs AFC game that it could only be watched on ESPN4, UNLESS we had the Plaid Sports channel with the blackout exception package. After a while we just gave up and moved on.
I'm watching our younger siblings and their peers do the same. Because they don't have money it's "Pay rent" or "Buy Big10/SEC Network to watch football games" and Rent wins. My school can't figure out why they can't fill seats and it's because 0-12 year olds aren't excited about a team they've never seen play because their parents never watched it while they were growing up. Going to a Big 10 rivalry game was usually a Birthday present for me and my peers, but we watched it on ABC or NBC every other week.
And they can't claim that the technology or demand wasn't there. Mark Cuban started out with phone lines so IU alumni could listen to home Basketball games, that turned into broadcast.com which Yahoo bought out. Professional sports could have charged a simple nominal fee to listen to 'home' games since 2000 and they decided to double down on the Cable route.
The longer they are able to stay employed without learning they harder it is on them.
I have had co-workers doing the same tasks more or less unchanged in 20 years. I can't wait until they retire so they can be replaced with a cron job that doesn't need vacation.
Falsely assuming that 50% had to be democrats breaking libertarian. While forgetting libertarian in the US is far right wing, with many libertarian politicians being former Republicans.
Which means you didn't look at the other 3rd party in the election. In Wisconsin the Green Party went from 7.6k to 31k. They picked up 659 more votes between 2012 and 2016 than Trump won by.
In Michigan the Green party picked up 30,000 votes and Clinton lost by 10,000. So completely ignoring the Libertarians the additional votes the Green party got in MI and WI were more than enough to put the Democrats over the top in those states.
Additionally you really can't characterize the nuances between each of the parties in each state by looking how they behave at a national level.
In rural Wisconsin and Michigan a Sanders Democrat and Libertarian have more in common than say a Michigan Democrat and NYC Democrat. Not understanding how people think or even taking the time to come talk to them and understand their motivations has proven to be a bad course of action.
To be fair, Trump was pretty "Me, Me, Me" as well.
The difference is the "Me, Me, Me" message resonated with Trump supporters.
The "I'm with Her" message lost the people that believed more in "Stronger Together".
Trump did not win the election, Clinton lost it. Specifically Clinton lost Wisconsin and Michigan. Both states went to Sanders in the Primary and in the General saw a massive dive in DNC votes and a massive uptick in 3rd party votes. Johnson went from 8k to 172k between 2012 and 2016 in Michigan, That's not anything other than people going "Fuck Clinton".
So if you assume half of the votes 3rd party candidates picked up between 2012 & 2016 would have gone to anyone but Clinton the democrats would have picked up PA in addition to MI and WI. If they were 75% they would have added Florida.

Back in the day people flocked to football games because it was seemingly the only thing to do. They graduated and continued watching their home team. Now there are multiple different events that students can participate in and follow. I had friends that skipped Homecoming to go to the LoL championships.
I think that NCAA Football and the NFL is in for a rude awakening as their profits have been propped up by people with cable that may not really watch the sport. There are only a few teams that are economically viable and that is with ESPN deals.
India has a large population. 5% of a large number is still a large number.
What's happening in India right now is what happens when you push everyone into IT or to be a programmer. (Just like the skilled trade shortage in the US is what happens when you push everyone to college for 'anything').
For 90% of my tasks that my company wants to outsource to India I would rather just have a high school student with some Python classes. At least with the high school student I can occasionally look over their shoulder and direct them to how I want some of our classes to work. And they'd be even cheaper than an outsourced developer.
I think I'm the only person in my group with a GitHub account. Nothing we develop is opensource. None of our compilers are opensource. (NXP just released a VLE enabled GCC).
At my company, competitors, and others in industry there are easily millions of embedded developers that aren't being counted.

You're looking at fees of ~$2, which is cheaper than any other method I know of. Walmart charges $4.50 up to $50 and $9 after that.

Target is a bit high end for the average Trump supporter.

State | Year | Green | Libertarian | Democratic | Republican |
Michigan | 2008 | 8,892 | 23,716 | 2,872,579 | 2,048,639 |

Wisconsin | 2016 | 31,072 | 106,674 | 1,382,536 | 1,405,284 |
I broke down which states would have flipped based on what percentage of additional 3rd votes would have gone to a candidate other than Clinton:
100% | 75% | 50%
Arizona | Florida | Michigan
Florida | Michigan | Pennsylvania
Michigan | Pennsylvania | Wisconsin
Pennsylvania | Wisconsin
Wisconsin
So if you assume half of the votes 3rd party candidates picked up between 2012 & 2016 would have gone to anyone but Clinton the democrats would have picked up PA in addition to MI and WI. If they were 75% they would have added Florida.
