Open Borders in the New Yorker

Bryan Caplan at Econlib - 11 hours ago
Zoey Poll has written my favorite review of Open Borders in the latest issue of the New Yorker. Why favorite? Because the review is not only accurate and enthusiastic, but visually attentive: “The illustrations in “Open Borders” are playful, bright, and irreverent; their simple style evokes Caplan’s relentless optimism.” As far as I know, no other […] The post Open Borders in the New Yorker appeared first on Econlib.

Is it time for Hannah Mather Crocker?

Jayme Lemke at Econlib - 11 hours ago
Sometimes women’s contributions to the political and economic life of past centuries are overlooked, not because they were minor, but simply because they were seen as stories of daily ‘domestic’ life and therefore inherently less significant than accounts of war, conquest, and statecraft. Since the 1960s, there has been a movement within the discipline of […] The post Is it time for Hannah Mather Crocker? appeared first on Econlib.

COVID-19 has the Europeans clamoring for....wait for it....border security. Which is it's own dark humor, isn't it? Walls make for good neighbors and there are things that you really don't want to allow through the front door if you are being honest with yourself. Pelosi doesn't allow illegal aliens to come and go in her many, walled, and heavily alarmed and guarded mansions, does she? There you have it.

THE RATIONAL ANIMAL'S GUARDIANS: This day was always going to come!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 11 hours ago
*TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2020When guardians attack:* This day was always going to come. More precisely, this day was always going to come if Candidate Sanders became the Democratic nominee, or if it seemed he was getting close. "If history teaches us anything," it teaches that it's better for this day to come sooner rather than later. It would have been better for Democrats, and for Michael Dukakis himself, if the attack on the Massachusetts prison furlough program had come during the primary campaign, rather than later on, during the general election. Alas! The attack came later ... more »

Cancel Culture: Its Causes and Its Consequences

TJ Roberts at 11 hours ago
[image: undefined] The Cancel Culture Mob knows few limitations. While social media has empowered people to speak their minds, it has also empowered the masses to attempt to “cancel” those who express controversial opinions. Victims of cancel culture often end up jobless, friendless, and helpless. Those engaging in canceling people, however, gain nothing but empty satisfaction. In a Cancel Culture, everyone loses the ability to understand differing perspectives, making echo chambers and their disastrous consequences inevitable. *What is Cancel Culture* Cancel Culture has been desc... more »

Forget the Old F-15: The Air Force Could Have a Stealthy F-15SE "Silent Eagle"

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC18DC38B600&share=true] Worth the cost? *Key Point:* A stealthy F-15 sounds like a good idea in theory, but it is unclear how much it would cost. Given that the military already has the super stealthy F-35, it would not make sense to purchase another expensive fighter.

When U.S. soldiers received new helmets in the early 1980s, the reaction was dismay. The Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) was supposed to offer better protection than the M1 helmet worn from World War II to the mid-1980s. Unfortunately, it also looked like the “Stalhelm” helmets worn by Nazi soldiers. The PASGT was replaced in the mid-200... more »

The Seawolf-class submarines were envisioned as the best submarines ever built.

When fear of pandemic overrides the problem – people suffer a different kind of trauma

Uriel at 'Nox & Friends - 13 hours ago
When panic is fueled by psychological attacks, there is more danger from the fear than there is from the problem. Remember how the fear of West Nile Virus and the Zika Virus took center stage? Or the Bird or Swine Flu and half a dozen other viruses. It isn’t that they aren’t terrible — they are. It isn’t that they didn’t kill or deform — they do. What was the worst part was the panic that set in because of their spread. We need to look carefully at what is happening around the world. Viruses come and go. They mutate … Continue reading →

Democrats blame Trump for cornavirus

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 13 hours ago
Trump is asking for a cut to the CDC budget; to trim waste. He's also asking for $2.5 billion to fight coronavirus.

Once again what matters to Democrats isn't what's good for we the people but what's good for Democrats. If they cared about us they'd say that of course... more »
