Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Well, according to this simulation. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This simulation offers a harrowing lesson to be cautious about how we equip the U.S. military. The year is 2016, and two of the U.S. Navy’s latest ships are backing a key ally in the tinderbox of the South China Sea.

There’s a long history of video games being blamed for real-life ills, with various school shootings, especially the Columbine massacre in 1999, often laid at the feet of first-person shooter games. And now, following an uptick in carjackings in recent months, there’s a push in one state to ban violent video games altogether. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, a...

The Fake Debate Over A Minimum Wage

Capitalism’s “conservative” defenders yet again oppose raising the minimum wage. They fought raising it in the past much as they tried to prevent the Fair Labor Standards Act (1938) that first mandated a U.S. minimum wage. The major argument opponents have used is this: setting or raising a minimum wage threatens small employers. They may collapse or else fire employees; either way, jobs are lost. What is conveniently assumed here is a necessary contradiction between minimum wages and small business jobs. That assumption enables opponents to claim that not setting a legal minimum ...
