Thank Herbert Hoover for the modern media cartel.
"Harding appointed him Secretary of Commerce. Hoover then oversaw the nationalization of the airwaves. He created the Federal Radio Commission, which became the Federal Communications Commission. Instead of selling air space to the highest bidder — the free market solution — he let the FCC license and periodically re-license broadcasters. This became the basis of the second most important cartel after the banking cartel: the media cartel. This was the origin of the mainstream media."Yep. He was also the originator of New Deal.

"National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said in their efforts to protect the health and safety of visitors and employees, they are extending restrictions on tobacco smoke to include vapor from electronic smoking devices."Banning water vapor doesn't improve anybody's safety.

At the eleventh hour, it looks like Europe's rulers are finally willing to make some concessions to Greece's rulers. Playing hardball and flirting with Putin may have worked for Tsipras.
Headline claims Washington fears losing Greece to Moscow. I thought that might have triggered Europe's rulers' change of heart.
Obama's FCC is pushing internet welfare. That let's you know the government knows it controls the internet.

FCC's net neutrality rules is already having a negative impact on companies and customers. This is based on the fact that internet bandwidth is a limited resource so companies were foolish to sell "unlimited bandwidth" plans. There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.
