*Desmond Lachman* *U.S. Economy Inflation, Americas* [image: U.S. Economy Inflation] As the recent sharp run in U.S. Treasury bond yields would underline, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell now seems to be running the real risk of being perceived by markets as being behind the inflation curve. In May 2013, Ben Bernanke provoked a so-called taper tantrum that shook world financial markets. He did so by intimating that the Federal Reserve might soon dial down its aggressive bond-buying program. That announcement sent U.S. Treasury bond yields soaring, which had reverberations in Asian and...

Are Plastics Sustainable? Here's What the Pandemic Can Teach Us.
Nicola De Blasio, Phoebe Fallon, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Nicola De Blasio, Phoebe Fallon* *Security, Americas* Durability and inexpensiveness—two of plastic’s greatest assets—have made it the workhorse material of modern society. But they have also become its greatest curse by creating a global environmental and sustainability crisis. Threats like pandemics and environmental crises often progress with non-linear trends—starting small and escalating exponentially—and are especially difficult to confront because they require us to interpret and react to change in real-time. While the most effective approach would be to take decisive act...
Joe Biden Has a Problem at the Department of Labor
Fred Lucas, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, Americas* The Department of Labor doesn’t get a lot of coverage, but is consequential in enforcing labor and wage laws, assessing employment data and dealing with labor-management matters—at a time when the recovery of the United States is key. Republicans are choosy about which of President Joe Biden’s nominees to fight—more interested in low-hanging fruit such as ideological firebrands Neera Tanden for budget director and Health and Human Services pick Xavier Becerra. The Labor Department is rarely a very contentious post. Biden tapped Boston Mayor Mart...
Could Virtual Education be the Death Knell for Teachers Unions?
Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Michael Rubin* *Teachers Unions, Americas* [image: Teachers Unions] If students can learn online during a pandemic or snow days, then they can still be taught during a strike. Teachers’ unions continue to resist a wholesale return to schools. The performance of school boards in and around Washington, DC, has been particularly shameful. Maryland lags behind the rest of the country in in-person education, and Montgomery, Howard, and Prince Georges Counties trail behind the rest of the state. Whereas teachers unions may have cited “science” at the beginning of the pandemic when so...
Top Guns: The Five Deadliest Air Forces on the Planet
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *U.S. Air Force, * Which countries make the list? *Here's What You Need to Know*: These air forces should not be underestimated. Qualifying the five most powerful air forces in the world is certainly a difficult and challenging proposition. There are large, well-trained and well-equipped air forces that are obvious candidates for such a list. Then there are less-obvious candidates—like Russia. The Russian Air Force, while plane-for-plane older than many air forces, has numbers, the ubiquity of the largest country by size on Earth, a modernization plan and nuclear...
Dead at 3,871 Yards: The Story of History's Longest Sniper Kill Shot
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Snipers, Middle East* The shot was more than a thousand yards farther than the previous world record. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It seems unlikely this record will be decisively beaten for the foreseeable future. In mid-2017, the sniping community was rocked by incredible news: a Canadian sniper team operating in the Middle East had made a successful kill at a distance of more than two miles. The team, deployed to fight the Islamic State, killed an ISIS fighter at a distance of 3,871 yards. The shot was a record breaker and more than a thousand yards farthe...
Why Nazi Germany Relied So Much on the Panzer II Tank
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *World War II History, Europe* [image: By Matthias Holländer - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=16209871] The Panzerkampfwagen II was designed as a stopgap, but it ended up being mass produced and used on many fronts. As Nazi Germany began to openly rearm its military in the late 1930s, it introduced the Panzerkampfwagen II—more commonly known as the Panzer II—largely as a stopgap while more powerful tanks such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV were being developed. However, the Panzer II went on to become one of the most numerous armore...

The Achilles heel of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
I'm not invested in cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin, etc.) at all, and have no plans to do so, because of one fundamental reality. As Phil at Bustedknuckles points out: Now you can use it. And now you can’t. With the state of our aging and completely vulnerable to sabotage power grid in this country my thinking is that you gotta be out of your ****ing mind if you think crypto currency is going to take over for cash around here. I couldn't have put it better myself. I'll add to power outages the safety and security of our computer networks. Take down the Internet, even...

Joel Wing, MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago
Violence in Iraq has been going in two directions over the last few months. Since November the Islamic State has been ramping down its operations in Iraq. By February 2021 the number of security incidents reached one of the lowest levels since the U.S. invasion. On the other hand, pro-Iran groups have picked up their attacks upon American targets during that same period. There were a total of 63 incidents reported in the media during February. 16 of those were by pro-Tehran factions leaving just 47 by the Islamic State. In November 2020 there was just one attack by groups...

SEOUL, Republic of Korea, Mar 08 (IPS) - As the global effort to address climate change has strengthened over the last few years, so has the realization that rising temperatures and climactic disruptions disproportionately impact women, particularly in developing countries, as they tend to be more dependent upon natural resources and are thus overrepresented in resource-intensive economic sectors.
