Fidget spinners have been around for years, mostly used by kids with autism or attention disorders to help them concentrate. But they exploded in popularity this spring. ... Unlike hot toys at the holiday season, which are often made by one company, manufacturers — mostly in China — are making the fidget spinners as fast as they can.

TRADE

"[However,] the
most problematic complication ... [of this arrangement was that] many players
-- Germany, Korea, the two Chinas, Ireland, and Singapore, to name a few -- did
more than use Bretton Woods to simply export their way to stability. They
redesigned their economic systems to take full advantage of a world of
risk-free international shipping and easy American market access. These places,
and many more, are now dependent upon
the continuation of the current system for their economic wherewithal. And even
those that expanded their international footprint more modestly lack the military capacity to
protect their own coastlines, if even that." from The
Accidental Super Power

TRAVEL BAN
|
In a 10-to-3 decision, the Richmond, Virginia-based court said the president’s power to deny entry into the United States is not absolute and sided with challengers, finding that the travel ban ‘‘in context drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination.’’
“But here’s the thing: resignation would have protected my own personal integrity, because I wouldn’t have been part of this, but I believed, and I still think, that I had an obligation to also protect the integrity of the Department of Justice. And that meant that D.O.J. doesn’t go into court on something as fundamental as religious freedom, making an argument about something that I was not convinced was grounded in truth.” Sally Yates, former acting Attorney General, went on, “In fact, I thought, based on all the evidence I had, that it was based on religion. And then I thought back to Jim Crow laws, or literacy tests. Those didn’t say that the purpose was to prevent African-Americans from voting. But that’s what the purpose was.”
