Growing pressure to de-dollarize: China wants to diversify foreign exchange reservesRIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – For several years now, Chinese financial experts have been warning against relying too much on the U.S. dollar (and specifically on U.S. government bonds) for foreign exchange reserves. The Chinese side is particularly critical of the fact that U.S. bonds are actually a minus trade. This is because the inflation […] The post Growing pressure to de-dollarize: China wants to diversify foreign exchange reserves appeared first on The Rio Times. read more

What Schools Still Need To Learn About Recruiting And Retaining Teachers
The stories have graduated from a steady drip drip drip to an ongoing drizzle. Across the country, states are confronting a huge number of unfilled teaching positions as the teacher exodus, well under way long before the spread of COVID and the conservative attacks on public education, continues unabated. And yet many school districts, particularly medium-sized and small districts, have failed to adjust. Many are still using the old recruitment model, which consists of posting a job opening and then waiting for a bunch of applications to come in. This is not working any more, and ... read more

Congressmen find evidence FBI is investigating parents

America's technocrats are in in a snit. Paul Krugman writes: The sultans of Silicon Valley are in a political snit, with some billionaires suddenly turning against Democrats. It’s not just Elon Musk. Other prominent players, including Jeff Bezos, have lashed out at the Biden administration, and we now know that Oracle’s Larry Ellison participated in a call with Sean Hannity and Lindsey Graham about overturning the 2020 election. The timing of this hard right turn by some tech aristocrats is remarkable given what’s happening in U.S. politics. It’s hard, for example, to imagine wha... read more

Impeachment vote haunts South Carolina Republican in 2022Washington Examiner: Former President Donald Trump is casting a long shadow over South Carolina's Republican primary. The race for the GOP nomination in South Carolina's 7th Congressional District, which spans the northeast part of the state inland from Myrtle Beach, is only competitive because of the pro-impeachment vote of Rep. Tom Rice in the second Democratic-led effort to evict Trump from the presidency and prevent him from holding public office again. Rice was among 10 House Republicans to vote for the impeachment of Trump over the then-president's actions — or inactions, ... read more

The mouth of a sea lamprey. | T. Lawrence/Great Lakes Fishery Commission More than a century after they arrived, invasive sea lampreys still threaten the Great Lakes’ $7 billion fishing economy.

But more than a century ago, they found their way into the Great Lakes, where they multiplied and became one of the most destructive invasive species in US history. These creatures are parasites.

The Depravity of the Armchair CommunistsThe inter-imperialist camp, as it has been called, has dedicated itself to painting the Ukraine conflict strictly in terms of inter-imperialist struggle. In their dedication to this interpretation, they have committed to a series of surprisingly extravagant claims, some of which I intend to gather here and hold up to the light. However, it is this camp’s total lack of scruples, specifically when it comes to their sources, that has compelled me to object. read more
