Sunday School 11 months, 4 weeks agoIn a recent book, ‘How States Think’, Mearsheimer says that in an ‘anarchic international system’ (one with no world government – i.e. the real world), each state must ensure its own survival. Great powers seek to maintain or expand their security buffer zones to prevent potential threats from getting too close. Russia’s view of NATO expansion,…[Read more]

@Reg
That as well, though I think what I proposed pretty much covers the same ground in different words. It’s not friendly to be constantly breaking rules and/or rewriting them unilaterally to one’s own advantage.

I think the biggest issue for most countries is that Trump cannot be trusted. The rest of the world has watched in bafflement and dismay at how Trump has treated Canada. In his first term he overhauled the NAFTA trade agreement, which became USMCA. I will admit that was a better trade agreement and one built on a broadly stable and modernized…[Read more]

I think the main reason Canada is supplanting the good ole USA is that they are friendly with their customers whereas Trump America is hostile.

Sunday School 12 months ago“Murder is wrong”. You are presenting this as a choice. We choose not to murder because it’s wrong.
But that’s not what stops us from randomly killing annoying people. We don’t think “I want to throttle you but I’d better not because it’s wrong”.
I mock myself for my revulsion of killing. I ridicule my efforts to get a fl…[Read more]

@Reg
I’m sure I’m not alone in saying my eyes glazed over. What I did was ask ChatGPT this: Recently the President basically took over the agency that issues monthly job statistics, presumably so he can meddle with it and provide only favorable data with little regard to accuracy. So, I’m wondering if it’s possible to basically derive the same…[Read more]

Yes, there are numerous sources of good data and methods to do this. I used to be involved in economic forecasting for a university “thinktank” in a previous career. Individual States can offer labor rates from jobless claims and job openings from Linkedin etc. MasterCard and Bank of America track credit card spending. The varied sources allo…[Read more]
