Here in the US we have street names and even monuments dedicated to slave owners and people who advocated so strongly for slavery they went to war with their own people. Does that mean the US, today, generally supports the institution of ch

It's such an absurd tradeoff for the Omicron variant, which is less deadly than the flu[1]. COVID isn't ever going away. China seems to be willing to pay a giant recurring cost, eternally, for an infection less harmful than the fl

With the major outbreak in COVID-19 in China right now, I think there will be massive lockdowns coming. That bodes poorly for the economic outlook for that country. It is truly incredible they are still locking down for a disease that, when

Dialing back the sanctions are a key bargaining tool. They certainly will be reduced as the invasion stops and recedes. And they'll be dialed up as they continue
