of editorial committee According to reports, the European Union has just announced that it will spend $550 million to increase arms production and the bloc’s “first-ever blueprint to renew the continent’s declining defense industrial base.” be.
The Council notes that these are encouraging developments, but warns that no matter what happens, “the road to strengthening Europe’s security will be long and difficult.” Europe’s stance on increasing defense spending remains fiercely opposed, and recruiting and retaining volunteers will be an even bigger challenge.
Meanwhile, NATO is also pushing for increased military spending, particularly $100 billion in military spending. Lee Hochstadter The report aims to provide “Trump-proof” aid to Ukraine. Lee said the idea of locking in aid before former President Donald Trump could potentially be re-elected to the White House could certainly “help Kiev withstand the Russian onslaught.” Stated. But this, too, ignores all the defense work that needs to be done across the rest of Europe at a time when a hot war with Russia could break out before the end of the decade.
close to home, Amanda Ripley has some ideas for defenses to deploy this election season. Her column explains how our own lives can be unsuccessful to Trump, unsuccessful to Biden, or, most accurately, unsuccessful to Trump and Biden.
Let’s start with her proposal for a “demilitarized zone” in which “certain core relationships…remain outside the realm of political discussion.” Discussing political disagreements with loved ones in such a polarized environment can quickly turn sour, and says, “Relationship ruptures harden our hearts and make us more fixed.” It makes you fall into a trap of ideas,” Amanda writes.
Her other tactics include knowing exactly who she can influence and who she can’t, monitoring her body’s reactions to election news, and simply being more effective in the long run. This includes thinking. This is a playbook worth checking out as this fall’s offense approaches and requires a solid defense.
from researchers Avik Roy and greg garvan’s This editorial debunks the myth that in order for big drug companies to keep creating new drugs, they need to charge a lot of money for their drugs. The argument is that if you want a drug for disease X someday, you might as well keep paying up the wazoo for a drug to treat disease Z.
Roy and Girvan’s new analysis shows that “the largest drug companies are largely unable to translate their vast profits into discoveries,” they write.Most innovations are not only small scale, but actually Unprofitable.
Large corporations often hinder the functioning of research laboratories through bureaucracy, excessive risk aversion, and an excessive focus on profitability. Moreover, they just I’ll buy up everything The best medicines that start-ups develop and bring to market themselves.
Thankfully, Roy and Girvan explain, that model is starting to change, and hopefully drug prices will start to change with it.
This week, when a section of the Pacific Coast Highway collapsed into the ocean. Alexandra Petri I knew it was time for another literary outpouring.
Throw some ashes and a little Throw in some snow on the gorgeous California coastline, and throw in some Bleakery, and you’ve got the perfect feel for the world of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Thus was born the excerpt that Alex imagined from her sister novel, Infrastructure. It’s an interesting piece of content, largely reflecting the speed of America’s infrastructure spending, but she can’t help but throw an elbow at Mr. McCarthy.
“Do I have a name?” said the boy.
Probably, the man said. you talk too much
“Are you talking to me?” said the boy. Where are the quotation marks?
That doesn’t exist anymore, the man said. They were once a luxury item. Anyway, this is supposed to be about infrastructure.
Chaser: The United States is a large country with a large amount of infrastructure, some of which needs updating; chuck lane wrote in 2021. That doesn’t mean it will “collapse”.
