Prices are not shooting down.
A reduction in the rate of inflation is just a reduction in the slope of the line of prices. It just means that they're accelerating by less than previously.

They're looking to grow fodder - livestock feed - not lettuce. Looking at the article, they didn't way what they'd be growing as fodder - I'd be interested in finding that out to see how it works.

The electoral college is like your team scoring 48 points to your opponents 44 points in a basket ball game but your opponent wins because his 44 points earned him more electoral college votes and the electors declared that 44 is a higher number than 48 and to hell with mathematics. I'm pretty sure that if your basket ball team lost a game that way you'd be pissed as hell. You should choose your analogies more carefully next time. You love this situation because you get to win elections despite losing the popular vote and that allows you to shove your values down the throats of the majority of the populace. That's a lot of things but it's not winning an election, it's gaming an election. There is something really perverse about a system that allowed Donald Trump to win by a landslide with fewer votes than Mitt Romney lost.
The electoral college is like your team scoring 29 baskets to your opponents 20 baskets in a basket ball game but your opponent wins because his 20 three pointers earned him more electoral college votes and the electors declared that 20 three pointers are a higher number than 29 two pointers and to hell with mathematics.

Copyright Lobby Calls Out Plex For Not Doing Enough To Stop Piracy (inputmag.com) 158
An anonymous reader shares a report: For those who don't want to dive fully into torrents, Plex is a great alternative for streaming television shows and movies for free. Officially, Plex is a "neutral" media player, and it first became popular with people looking to stream content between devices at home, like from their desktop in the study to their laptop in their bedroom. But, with Plex Media Server, users can also share media with other users to stream, creating a virtual free-for-all, and a serious problem from a copyright perspective. CreativeFuture, a pro-copyright coalition boasting more than 560 members, has taken notice and is calling out the platform, along with rival service Kodi.
"Thanks to a rapidly growing media application called Plex, torrent-based piracy is back in vogue, and better than ever (for criminals who have no problem with profiting from content that doesn't belong to them, that is)," the coalition writes in a blog post. Those who pay $4.99 per month for Plex Pass are able to share their libraries with up to 100 users. As Creative Future points out, this isn't always done for the sake of altruism, or so family's can share their legally procured copies of Frozen. Some Plex users actually charge for access to their content -- a more nefarious (though, granted, enterprising) evolution from the totally free world of torrenting. For extra sass, the shared content can be pirated to begin with.
