    Food in the US is regularly subsidized, especially meat. It's how we compete unfairly with the rest of the world. ISPs already receive massive subsidies to have laid fiber they dec…

    Interesting because I've got a box to just shut off my power. If I don't pay my bill the company can shut off my power. Seems to me that the power company should be looking at ways…

    Travel sites are worst about it but I've seen it on Amazon which claimed it was a mistake. Smaller stores don't typically do it, but with an iPhone and an Android, one on VPN somet…
