A recent survey, for instance, found that millions of people have not yet returned to work due to “COVID concerns.” For months, the United States has suffered a labor shortage, and much of the conventional wisdom has stated that the enhanced unemployment benefits were the reason for that shortage.

Why The Nuclear Sub Deal Will End Badly For The Australians
Until we see a text, if any, of the executive agreement for the AUKUS thing-a-ma-gig, the only real meat of it seems to be the Australian purchase of nuclear US or UK subs rather than the “conventionally” (not really) powered French design.

Their vote is down but they won the parliamentary seats that counted. They did not get the majority government that they had hoped for, but after running a very bad campaign they find themselves to be the next government in Canada, albeit a minority government dependent on the support of the other parties. The big loser in this campaign was the leader of the Conservative Party. His hard shift to the left alienated a lo... read more
