But those farmers voted for those people.  Those farmers wanted less government hand out so they can pay less taxes.  The farmers you are trying to get sympathy for are not the ones using this program and they are certainly not poor.  The government made sure of that through heavy farm subsidies and backing crop insurance. It's the nonfarmers that live in the rural area that are getting hit.

The only reason new FAB's are going up in the US is because of politics. There is already no market for them before so we are already wasting billions in the name of national security.  No one wants to pay 30%+ for the same thing.  You think the current inflation numbers are bad... lol

He is getting a letter for doing something that all Linux distributions do. And that is release GNU software under the GNU name.  That gcc that you use isn't actually release by GNU, it's a compiled release by the distro that has patches and code changes different from what GNU provides.  Yet distros use the GNU name. So, currently open source operates on a coop trademark gentle's agreement.  But if they are sending letters to people then that's going to lead to the iceweasel issue all over again.
