Latin America News, The Rio Times - 16 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Brazilian industrial confidence fell in April for a fourth month to its lowest since August, a survey showed on Thursday, depressed by a second COVID-19 wave and new lockdown measures in many states.

What the wage data is telling us
Scott Sumner, Econlib - 16 hours ago
During a normal demand-side recession, wage growth tends to fall sharply, with a modest lag due to nominal wage stickiness. In this recession, however, it’s been hard to interpret the data due to “composition effects”. Put simply, lower paid workers were more likely to get laid off, so average hourly wages actually rose faster than […] The post What the wage data is telling us appeared first on Econlib.

BWorld 484, Earth Day, Greenpeace and the RE lobby
Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 16 hours ago
* My column in BusinessWorld, April 20, 2021. Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, 51 years ago, to raise environmental awareness among Americans, and was later adopted in many countries around the world. What later followed were a series of scary climate predictions, all of which were just false alarms. Below are some stories, headlines, and climate predictions which never materialized. Note that in the 1970s, people were scared of global cooling and a new ice age. This changed to fear of global warming and rising sea levels in the late 1980s, and in the 1990s the a...

Football: a people’s sport?
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
The collapse of the attempt to form a ‘super league’ of top European soccer teams by the billionaire owners of the big clubs is only an interrupted chapter in the story of the commodification of sport into profitable capitalist enterprises, owned and controlled by capital. It is no accident that JP Morgan was the fund manager for the Super League plan – as the bank epitomises the role of global capital in controlling modern sport. And it is no accident that the main drivers for the new league were the owners of Real Madrid, a football club controlled in the past by the corrupt Span...

The Legendary F-100 Super Sabre: America's First Supersonic Jet
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *F-100, Americas* The plane saw service until 1980. *Here's What You Need to Know*: America’s first supersonic jet did not excel as a fighter and had beastly accident rate. On October 14, 1947, an orange-painted Bell X-1 piloted by Chuck Yeager became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Though the rocket-powered X-1 was an experimental design, it followed that improving jet engine technology would make a supersonic fighter possible as well. On its own initiative, the North American firm took a crack at evolving the F-86 Sabre, the t...

Are increasing numbers of military weapons being smuggled into the USA?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 18 hours ago
Regular readers will be aware that I have contacts in federal, state and local law enforcement in several parts of the country (not surprising, having worked in an ancillary law enforcement role myself). On several occasions in the past, as we've discussed in these pages, they've provided tips and insights about what they're seeing and hearing on the streets about our crime situation. That information has generally proven accurate over time. I'm currently hearing a number of rumors from them - not just idle chatter, but serious concern - that the number of military-grade weap...

Why Russia’s Old T-72 Tank Is Just Getting Warmed Up
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Russian Army, T-72 Tank, Europe* What’s notable about the T-72 is how it has been upgraded over the years, as well as its numerous variants. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *There are several thousands T-72s in use around the world. Not surprisingly, the biggest user is still Russia, with about 2,500 in active service and another 8,000 in reserve. As of September 2016, about a thousand T-72s have been upgraded into B3 models, according to a Russian defense site. When the Soviet T-72 tank was first deployed, Richard Nixon was President, the F-4 Phantom was Ame...
America Wanted the Behemoth T-28 Tank to Stop Hitler’s Heavy Armor
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *T-28 Tank, World War II, Europe* The United States would have discovered what the Germans did: a handful of massive tanks don’t really make a huge difference on a global-sized battlefield. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The T28 never saw combat. How would it have fared if it had? Its 105-millimeter cannon would have been sufficient to take out German pillboxes—and tanks as well. But more important for the U.S. Army in 1945, the T28’s foot-thick frontal armor would have rendered it proof against dreaded German antitank guns like the eighty-eight-millimeter. ...
Money or War: Why North Korea Sent Missiles to Israel’s Enemies
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *North Korea, Israel, Middle East* It’s hard to believe that such a deal would have been feasible or even sensible. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *“North Korea will sell, export, transfer and will engage in proliferation of WMDs whenever the price is right, the buyers are right, the timing is right and conditions are good.” In 1999, North Korea tried to blackmail Israel: give us a billion dollars, it said, or we will sell ballistic missiles to your enemies. But the Israelis turned them down. That’s the claim made in a book by a senior North Korean diplomat wh...

TOS-1: This Russian Rocket Launcher Can Devastate Cities
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *TOS-1, Eurasia* The system has gained a uniquely nasty reputation because of the horrifying effects of its fuel-air explosive warheads. *Here's What You Need to Know*: TOS stands for “heavy flame thrower.” The TOS-1 *Buratino *is a unique Russian self-propelled multiple rocket launcher system (MRLS) that has seen action in global hotspots like Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq and Syria. Like the enormous 240-millimeter 2S4 self-propelled mortar, the TOS-1’s specialty is obliterating heavily fortified positions. Although some of these may be found in rural rebel st...

Not NATO, But Sweden's Air Force Would Have Survived a Soviet Attack, No Problem
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Sweden, Europe* In the event of World War III, even neutral Sweden was prepared for a fight. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Taken all together, a single Bas 90 base complex would be spread of a large area, and have several kilometers of usable flight strips and taxiways in total, creating a larger target area that was also more discreetly camouflaged into the road system. Although Sweden does not share a border with Russia, the Scandinavian country is a mere 500 kilometers—or about 330 miles—from Kaliningrad, the Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea sandwiche...
