*"The Inevitable Bursting of Our Bubble Economy"* by Charles Hugh Smith "All of America's bubbles will pop, and sooner rather than later. Financial bubbles manifest three dynamics: the one we're most familiar with is human greed, the desire to exploit a windfall and catch a work-free ride to riches.

On Wars and Civilization

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 day ago
The major wars are events in which nations test the strength of their politics, culture, and economy. In the last 2500 years, there has not been a single generation (I take a generation as 60 years) in any nation that has not experienced one or more wars. The wars result in massive death and destruction and no sane person would want them, but the question is—could modern civilization have evolved if humanity had not been engaged in an endless series of wars? I think the wars have a natural role to play in human history—their purpose is to destroy the ineffective regimes and free hum... more »

AUTUMN BREAK

Noor al Haqiqa at SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS - 1 day ago
Just a short message. As you may have surmised by my silence, I am taking a little time off. So very weary of so much same old, same old. So tired of all the same stuff over and over and over again. Break might last maybe a day. Maybe a week. Maybe a month or more, but I doubt that long. But for the moment, just on sabbatical. The days are noticeably shorter, the morning fog hangs longer. Germs abound everywhere as the climate cools. Already Grandson (pictured below) has made his Grandmother sicker than the proverbial dog. He has figured out how to share deadly germs that laid us ... more »

TV Stations To Bring Back National Anthem

Terry at 'Nox & Friends - 1 day ago
It’s about time this tradition came back. Patriotism wasn’t controversial not so long ago. American was good. Communism was bad. The Bible was true. People worked hard. Marriages stayed together. Kids got spanked. Life was good. Sadly, Patriotism in America has been, and continues to be, drooping. Nexstar Media Group, however, wants to reverse that, at least in part. The 171 Nexstar TV stations across the country are going to bring the national anthem back to the public airwaves — a place the anthem has been missing from for far too long. When television first began to spread across... more »

The Terrible Reason Why Russia Doesn't Have More Aircraft Carriers for Its Navy

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Europe* [image: https://miro.medium.com/max/3200/1*sv8N5n5RRHxXUWeUQJCOOA.jpeg] They won't get another one anytime soon either. *Key point:* Russia does not have the money or industrial capacity to build new carriers.
