Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Revenge of the Millennials

Almost every major new economic initiative proposed by Democrats — the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, debt-free college — has a common feature: Unlike most current social programs, it would benefit younger Americans at the expense of older Americans. Since the New Deal, America's social insurance programs have primarily transferred resources from the relatively young to the old. Social Security was designed as a program to support the aged and those unable to work, and over time its spending has come to be dominated by payments to retirees.

MIT and Stanford Professors Are Designing a Cryptocurrency to Top Bitcoin: Unit-e

Some of the brightest minds in America are pooling their brain power to create a cryptocurrency that's designed to do what Bitcoin has proved incapable of: processing thousands of transactions a second. Professors from seven U.S. colleges including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley have teamed up to create a digital currency that they hope can achieve speeds Bitcoin users can only dream of without compromising on its core tenant of decentralization. The Unit-e, as the virtual currency is called, is the first initiative of Distributed Technology Research, a non-profit foundation formed by the academics with backing from hedge fund Pantera Capital Management LP to develop decentralized technologies.

The IRS Is Making it Easier to Avoid Tax Penalties This Year. Here's How

The IRS urged taxpayers last year to do a “paycheck checkup” to make sure they were withholding enough from their paychecks to satisfy their obligations under the new tax law. But on Wednesday, the agency acknowledged in effect that the changes to the tax code could be confusing and said it would relax the penalty for not withholding enough from paychecks or quarterly estimated payments in 2018. Last February, the IRS changed the guidance it issues employers pertaining to how much in taxes they should withhold from employees' paychecks.

GM's Barra signals no new vehicles for Detroit Hamtramck, Lordstown

GM faces harsh backlash following its announcement Nov. 26 that it would idle Detroit-Hamtramck, Lordstown Assembly in Ohio and Oshawa Assembly in Ontario by the end of 2019.
