Merchant Marine Act of 1920 ("Jones Act") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marine_Act_of_1920

> Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act is known as the Jones Act and deals with cabotage (coastwise trade). It requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried on ships that have been constructed in the United States and that fly the U.S. flag, are owned by U.S. citizens, and are crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents

Why did they make this accessibility hack necessary?

Where can authors sell books without such obnoxious and saboteurial obfuscation as intentionally using custom incompatible fonts that fail with screen readers?

Does Amazon intentionally stop users from reading books they've purchased aloud with TTS because they want you to buy the audiobook copy too?

And also back then we had Enron speculating on electricity while there were rolling blackouts even for hospitals in CA.

Tapes reveal Enron's secret role in California's power blackouts https://www.theguardian.com/business/2005/feb/05/enron.usnew...

> the energy corporation Enron shut down at least one power plant on false pretences, deliberately aggravating California's crippling 2001 blackouts with the aim of raising prices.

Iraq was 1% of global oil production prior to Bush-Cheney Iraq War II.

Why did global oil prices change so much post 2003?

2000s energy crisis / disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_energy_crisis

> End of the crisis:

> By the beginning of September 2008, prices had fallen to $110. OPEC [...]

World oil market chronology from 2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_oil_market_chronology_fr...

> From the mid-1980s to September 2003: under $25/barrel.

  1998: $10
  2004: $40-$60. A series of events led the price to
  2005: $60
  2006: $75
  2007: $60-$99
  2008: $141.75
14x higher price in 10 years

How did costs change over that time given efficiency growth year over year

Renewables are more lucrative with higher gas prices.

High gas prices typically lead to consumer price inflation and then prices never go back down.

> These loans can be extremely risky because they're expensive: The national average annual percentage rate (APR) for a payday loan is almost 400 percent. That's over 20 times the average credit card interest rate.

> And often, borrowers can't pay back the loan right away. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that nearly 1 in 4 payday loans are re-borrowed nine times or more, while Pew found it generally takes borrowers roughly five months to pay off the loans — and costs them an average of $520 in finance charges. That's on top of the amount of the original loan.

500 + 520 = 1020

> They either win the election or get all their expenses refunded.

How would that work with something like the WH Press Secretary who has refused to give back some $350K in campaign donations (though currently FEC can't prosecute any campaign finance violations because they don't have a quorum because Trump has not nominated and confirmed enough FEC commissioners.)
