"If It Gets Bad, I'll Go to Idaho"
*"If It Gets Bad, I'll Go to Idaho"* by Jeff Thomas "In the 1930’s, the farm population in the US was nearly 25% of the total and it was quite common for farmers to borrow from the bank (using their farms as collateral) in the expectation that the proceeds from their annual crop would pay off the note each year. But, in 1929, there was a crash in the stock market, lowering the sales price of crops significantly. That, and coincidental droughts throughout the farm belt, resulted in a large percentage of the thirty million farmers failing to meet their payments. They lost their farms... read more
ACLU Turns its Back on Blacks, Latinos, Stands up for White Corporate America and Big Pharma with Mandatory COVID Shots as a “Civil Liberty”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) made a mockery of the term "civil liberty" last week when they published a piece in the New York Times where they announced: "Far from compromising them, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable, people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated, and communities of color hit hard by the disease." What the ACLU is effectively doing here, is coming out against those who refuse mandatory COVID vaccines in New York. And who is that? Only 13.8% of Blacks in New Y... read more

This is why it is not worth starting a conflict and risking a nuclear exchange. It is no exaggeration to say that for those who grew up during the Cold War, all-out nuclear war was “the ultimate nightmare.” The prospect of an ordinary day interrupted by air-raid sirens, klaxons, and the searing heat of a thermonuclear explosion was a very real, albeit remote, possibility.

After more than a decade of supporting land wars in the Middle East and Central Asia, the U.S. Navy is reinvesting in the core mission of sinking ships.

Israel’s ground forces had their origins in the Haganah, a Zionist paramilitary force created in the early 1920s to protect Jewish interests.

US Labor’s Future May Depend On Monetary And Fiscal Policy
Labor Day is a good time to reflect upon how American workers have been doing — especially the majority who have been left behind for most of the past 40 years. From 1979 to 2018, the median wage has grown by just 11.6 percent. If we compare this to prior decades, e.g., 1948 to 1979, that increase was 93.2 percent.

The Productivity–Pay Gap Has Been Growing Since 1979
The growth of inequalities is the central driver of the widening gap between the hourly compensation of a typical (median) worker and productivity—the income generated per hour of work—in recent decades. Specifically, this growing divergence has been driven by the growth of two distinct dimensions of inequality: the surge of compensation received by the top 10%—particularly the top 1.0% and top 0.1%—and the erosion of labor’s share of income and the corresponding growth of capital’s share.
