Just in time for #WesternWednesday! I think the best movie bad guy is evil gunslinger "Frank" from "Once Upon a Time in the West" played by #HenryFonda. It's the best against-type casting ever; Fonda went from playing Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath to this sick bastard!

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research.
The data speaks for itself.

This map detailing America's food supply chain from students at Illinois is the first of its kind. It's surprising to see the routes and modes of transportation these food items take!

The reason that #FakeNewsMedia gets applied to #CNN is bc of editorial choices:
+Ignoring key topics
+Reporting "first" without facts
+Sharing unconfirmed audio/video
+Covering a topic for hours or days using politicized "experts" adding nothing new but stirring up controversy nitter.cf/ap4pa/status/101048463…
I should also note that CNN has plenty of great people trying to do the right thing. I suspect editorial bias at CNN is driven more by a desire to be entertaining (ratings focused for ad sales) than any deliberate bias. nitter.cf/ap4pa/status/101048388…

And there is the point of the law: it forces people to buy new machines.
The downsides for the #environment are the resources used in making those machines plus the #recycling and other costs associated with getting rid of the old ones. nitter.cf/PriceAP/status/1005132…
It's worth noting the flaw in the premise of the article. An old washing machine uses 40 gallons of water per wash. A newer high efficiency model uses as little as 5 gallons. nitter.cf/ap4pa/status/100507070…

Pennsylvania spends more to subsidize horse racing than it does on THE ENTIRE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
And it's not even close.

If noncitizens in general and particularly illegal aliens help dictate which states have more political power, and where and to whom federal funds are redistributed, is this not an assault on representative American democracy? thefederalist.com/2018/03/01…
