American Exceptionalism-- Under Trump
I was talking with one of my oldest friends early in the pandemic. He had locked himself up in his small New York City apartment and was extremely stressed out, insisting his spouse, who would walk down and then back up the 8 flights of stairs to the lobby to pick up delivered items they had ordered, immediately put all clothing into their washer and dryer. My friend didn't need a mask. He wasn't leaving his apartment and no one was coming in. He's not a very political guy-- maybe moderately political, having been a union member-- but he was happy enough to hear me heap blame on T... more »

The Marines' Future Taser Is More Sniper Than Pistol
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A military Taser bullet isn’t as easy as it sounds. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The Marines want a weapon that can incapacitate for more than three minutes, which suggests a fine line between enough jolt to stun and enough to kill. Furthermore, the target might be wearing body armor that the HEMI round must penetrate. And a bullet powerful enough to travel more than 300 yards but not injure the target through blunt force might be a challenge. A bullet that zaps you with an electric jolt like a Taser. That’s what the U.S. Marine Corps wants as ... more »

While the J-10 is more advanced than the JF-17, they both clearly occupy a similar light-fighter niche, and Islamabad is more committed to procuring ... more »
The Bureaucrat in Yes Minister
There is nothing that a bureaucrat cares for more than his reputation for being a man of superlative intellect and the repository of every bit of critical information—the attributes of information and intellect, he thinks, makes everyone around him seem like a bumbling idiot, thus making it obvious that in any situation he, and only he, knows what needs to be done. This trait of a bureaucrat was depicted with perfection in the British sitcom Yes Minister, by the character called Humphrey Appleby (played by Nigel Hawthorne), who is the minister’s Principal Secretary.

The emerging war on thrift
Within the economics community, thrift was very fashionable during the neoliberal era (roughly 1980-2007). During the 2010s, economists opened a three front war on thrift. Thrift was blamed for rising inequality, stagnating aggregate demand, and debt problems associated with “currency manipulation”. In each case, the charges were false. Let’s consider them one at a time. […] The post The emerging war on thrift appeared first on Econlib.

Why The Second Korean War Would Be Far Worse Than The First

The answer is, slim to none. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * If a Second Korean War were to erupt tomorrow, there is one thing we can be sure of. It won’t be like the First Korean War of 1950-53. It's always reassuring—and usually fatal—to assume a conflict will be like its predecessor.

Truman’s War Crimes at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
[image: undefined] This month marks the 75th anniversary of the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While proponents of the bombings have long justified them on the basis that they shortened World War II, the fact is that they were war crimes. The only reason why President Truman and the pilots who dropped the bombs were not prosecuted as war criminals is because the United States ended up winning the war. It has long been pointed out that Japan had expressed a willingness to surrender. The only condition was that the Japanese emperor not be abused or executed. President... more »

Free Download: Erich Fromm, "The Fear of Freedom"
*"Automaton Conformity"* by Erich Fromm "In the mechanisms we have been discussing, the individual overcomes the feeling of insignificance in comparison with the overwhelming power of the world outside himself either by renouncing his individual integrity, or by destroying others so that the world ceases to be threatening. Other mechanisms of escape are the withdrawal from the world so completely that it loses its threat (the picture we find in certain psychotic states), and the inflation of oneself psychologically to such an extent that the world outside becomes small in compariso... more »
"Truth Is Always Stranger..."
"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees. Reminding us, that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world's stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp – and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all it's immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz

“Hell Is Truth Seen Too Late”
*“Hell Is Truth Seen Too Late”* by Brian Maher “Hell is truth seen too late,” wrote Thomas Hobbes - sternly, grimly, gravely. We fear the United States will see truth too late… The truth, for example, that a comatose economy does not simply jolt to life at a button’s touch. That extravagant debt levels murder growth.
