The Expiration of Enhanced Unemployment Has Not Led to More Applications  
*Stephen Silver* *Unemployment, Americas* The idea that the enhanced benefits were the reason for the labor shortage has been something of a controversial one. A recent survey, for instance, found that millions of people have not yet returned to work due to “COVID concerns.” For months, the United States has suffered a labor shortage, and much of the conventional wisdom has stated that the enhanced unemployment benefits were the reason for that shortage.

Why The Nuclear Sub Deal Will End Badly For The Australians
Until we see a text, if any, of the executive agreement for the AUKUS thing-a-ma-gig, the only real meat of it seems to be the Australian purchase of nuclear US or UK subs rather than the “conventionally” (not really) powered French design.

Australia has no nuclear power infrastructure; they will be dependent on the US or UK to provide same for any nuclear powered Australian attack subs.

Say Hello to Kalashnikov’s (Potentially) Epic AK-308
