Farm subsidies for Manhattan's penthouse farmers

The red dots indicate people who live in Manhattan yet receive agricultural subsidies from the federal government. The larger red blobs mark people receiving more than a quarter of a million dollars in farm subsidies annually.

That is Yuval Levin, via Trade Diversion and Johann Norberg - who echoes my first though: "So what is this? A guide to all the Starbucks cafés in Manhattan?" Maybe they are growing orchids?

Oh, and there are 171 Starbucks in Manhattan.
