One thing not mentioned is LightSquared misuse of the spectrum. The spectrum in question is the L1 band, which was set aside for satellite communications. These satellite transmitted signals appear weak from the ground. A loophole in the FC

And CA won't be collecting income tax on your $300-400 per month (since Amazon has canceled affiliates in CA), so their tax income is actually less.

Most of these different apps simply linearly scale the results, which is incorrect. Some taxes are non-linear (such as Social Security, which is only collected on the first $106,800 of income).

I wish they would put these kinds of statistics in context. Is 51,000 gallons per year in DC a lot? Is it 10% or 0.00001% of their annual fuel usage? It's sort of meaningless without context.
