The economic crash was already baked in before the virus arrived. It was already going to be bad. The shortest ever recent recession, in 1980, lasted for six months. And this one -- the popping of the "everything bubble" was already going to be big. *"Coronavirus is acting as a red herring," Jesse Colombo told FOX Business. "People are thinking things are falling apart because of the coronavirus. It’s just the pin that burst that bubble." ...Colombo predicts that hard times for American businesses and layoffs for American workers because of bubbles bursting."Since the global fina... more »

*Warfare History Network* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_BM2E89A0YB501&share=true] Fascinating advances that came too late and too few in number to matter. *Key Point:* These new weapons were amazing. But Berlin never was able to mass-produce the kind of rugged, reliable weapons that Moscow and Washington could.
