The U.S. Military and Russia Both Tried to Make a Nuclear-Powered Plane
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *History, World* [image: Reuters] Both quickly realized it was not practical. *Key point: *At the dawn of the nuclear age, it seemed like everything and anything could be powered by the atom. However, certain devices such as tanks, cars, and planes, did not have their own small reactors in their future. The 1950s and 1960s were the United States’ and Soviet Union’s nuclear heyday. Unlocking the power of the atom was supposed to usher in a new era in human achievement. In many ways, it did—harnessing nuclear power offered nearly unlimited energy to countries in th...

This is horrifically EPIC though I may be understating the scope of this MASSIVE Con job exercise in predatory capitalism. First, Linda McQuaig states the facts and sets the context: *"..regardless of what industry spokespeople say, a private company in the nursing home business is focused on maximizing profits, as its board of directors demands.* *And it will typically do this by scrimping on staff costs — hiring fewer workers and paying them rock-bottom wages with no benefits. This generally results in high turnover and worse conditions for the residents, as well as the workers...

Quit trying to Please Everyone and Be Yourself
Natalie Porter, Enlightened Consciousness - 11 hours ago
You can still be respectful, kind, and smile at others every so often while being yourself! Something you should understand that being nice has nothing to do with being kind. Growing up, most parents could have taught their children to be kind to people and respect them no matter what the situation. Therefore, I would always look for ways to justify people’s ugly actions. Sometimes, people are eager to please others as they lack self-love. All these people want is to be loved and liked. By pleasing others, they think that other people would give them love and fill the void inside o...
Coronavirus is Exacerbating America’s Nursing Shortage
Rayna M. Letourneau, The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Rayna M. Letourneau* *Security, Americas* The pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for nurses, including fear of workplace exposure. With a sharp increase in U.S. COVID-19 cases this fall and hospitals nearing capacity in parts of the Midwest and West, health care workers nationwide are scrambling to save lives – at great personal risk. But the extraordinary number of people flooding U.S. hospitals has shined a spotlight on another crisis: the country’s nursing shortage. “While we have beds, those beds are only as good as the staff that you can place around them,” said...

What's the Gold Standard, and Why Did the U.S. Abandon It?
Michael Klein, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Michael Klein* *economy, * After World War II, the leading Western powers adopted a new international monetary system that made the U.S. dollar the world’s reserve currency. The phrase “the gold standard” means, in common parlance, the best available benchmark – as in double-blind randomized trials are the gold standard for determining the efficacy of a vaccine. Its meaning likely comes from my world of economics and refers to what was once the centerpiece of the international monetary system, when the value of most major currencies, including the U.S. dollar, was based on the p...

Donald Trump refuses to admit that he lost the election. His refusal shows itself every day in so many ways. Richard Wolffe suggests that we count the ways: 1. The Founding Myth Of Election Night "This is a fraud on the American public," he said. “This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. We did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we’ll ...

Russia Built a Successful Space Shuttle. Why Did It Only Fly Three Hours?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The Buran was a victim of the fall of the Berlin Wall. A lack of funding meant that vague and expensive space projects were to be axed. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Soviet orbiter looked strikingly similar to its American counterpart. The Soviet Union wanted their own space shuttle — and eventually built something eerily reminiscent of NASA’s space shuttle. Its performance was similar to that of the space shuttle as well. So why did it only have three hours of flight time? *Suspicious Birth:* Soviet suspicions of the American space program rea...
How Emmanuel Macron Could Face a 2022 Populist Upset
François Valentin, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*François Valentin* *Politics, Europe* The election is still a ways away and observers should not be too shocked if Macron is unable to succeed. For Remembrance Day, French president Emmanuel Macron met up with his predecessors, his Socialist Party ex-boss François Hollande, and the right-wing Nicolas Sarkozy. Despite the fact that Hollande and Sarkozy were in office not too long ago (three years ago for Hollande and eight for Sarkozy), they very much symbolize a political order that no longer exists—one structured by a dominant center-right party and a dominant Socialist Party....
