Sounds like Flint MI scam-----Puerto Rico Doesn’t Want Reform - WSJ
Puerto Rico Doesn’t Want Reform - WSJ:"It has been 10 weeks since Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico.
The devastation was fierce.
Yet it cannot explain why almost half the generating capacity of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Prepa) is still down.
Credit for that goes to Congress, which in June 2016 passed the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act, a k a Promesa.
It opened the door to debt defaults that violate the Puerto Rican constitution and U.S. law.
As is always the case when the rule of law takes a back seat to politics, it has fueled chaos.
Prepa blames its disastrous post-hurricane decisions on a shortage of cash.
Yet in the immediate aftermath of the storm, a group of Prepa bondholders offered the company fresh debtor-in-possession financing that included a swap of $1 billion in existing debt for $850 million in new bonds and $1 billion in new cash.
Puerto Rico rejected the offer...
...Now Mr. Rosselló is asking for $94 billion in aid from Washington for reconstruction costs.
But he’s refused to implement furloughs and pension cuts mandated by the Promesa board. "

What could possibly go wrong?----Tweaking prices for 7 foods could save 60,000 lives in the US every year
Tweaking prices for 7 foods could save 60,000 lives in the US every year:
"Food is the number one cause of poor health in America."
It's no secret there are strong correlations between how much foods cost and how much we consume them, with things like soda taxes being proposed across the world as a powerful tool for fighting obesity.
But what if you were to broaden the scope of that kind of thinking, reducing what it costs to buy a whole range of healthy foods, while simultaneously hiking prices on unhealthy alternatives?
According to new projections, the economic ripples of taxing unhealthy foods while subsidizing healthy options would end up saving thousands of American lives every year – even if the price adjustments were only small..."

Socialism's history shows it delivers misery, murder and refugees - Washington Times
Socialism's history shows it delivers misery, murder and refugees - Washington Times:
"With the entire nation run like a giant prison, more than two million people have died since the mid-1990s from starvation. Hundreds of thousands have been executed or died in concentration camps. Overwhelmed by North Korean refugees, China, under whose own communist government led by Mao an estimated 65 million died, has erected a massive barbed wire and concrete fence along the border.
Do the millennials who were polled know these historical facts? Probably not. But if they are curious enough to find out, would fewer profess a preference for socialism?"

Everything You Need To Know About Why Net Neutrality Is A Terrible Idea | Daily Wire:
"The topic of net neutrality is one of the hottest debated issues of the modern day, and for good reason.
"The topic of net neutrality is one of the hottest debated issues of the modern day, and for good reason.
We all use the internet and thus have a natural tendency to weigh in on issues regarding its regulation.
The internet, however, is a complex hierarchical structure riddled with reams of vagaries.

Without first understanding them, people shouldn’t attempt to propose legislation.
Unfortunately, from Congressmen to commentators to comedians, this is exactly what we’ve been seeing regarding net neutrality.
The only hot political issue where coverage is comparably poor is that of firearms.

The only hot political issue where coverage is comparably poor is that of firearms.
In fact, USA Today and Vox.com tweeting out explainers on the civilian AR-15 with a chainsaw and grenade launcher attached to it is the perfect analogy for how net neutrality is covered in the media.
But before getting to net neutrality, there are some key concepts about how the internet works that need explaining.
What is the Internet?
The internet is best described as a “network of networks.”
But before getting to net neutrality, there are some key concepts about how the internet works that need explaining.
What is the Internet?
The internet is best described as a “network of networks.”
It’s divided into regions that perform different functions.
Access to the internet is provided through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The ISP you’re probably most familiar with is the one you pay directly for your home internet (for example AT&T, Verizon, or Bell Canada).
These providers are known as Tier 3 providers.
But ISPs do a lot more than simply sell you a home internet plan.
There are also Tier 1, and Tier 2 internet service providers.
Here’s a rough sketch of the interconnected web in the United States.

Tier 1 ISPs are known as the backbone of the internet.

Tier 1 ISPs are known as the backbone of the internet.
There exist about a dozen of them around the world, and they peer with one another, thus not having to pay anyone for transit (they have no providers).
Tier 1 networks can reach every other network on the internet..."
