JD Vance says Trump did not lose the 2020 election - Fortune Vance’s refusal to say whether Trump lost was widely considered his weakest debate moment with Walz, the governor of Minnesota, who called the response “a damning non-answer.” The campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris quickly turned the exchange into a television ad.

WorkMissed paychecks, free DVDs, useless kiosks getting in the way: Inside Redboxs insane bankruptcy unwindingThe chain of DVD-rental kiosks filed for bankruptcy in June after racking up close to a billion dollars in debt. The bankruptcy case was quickly converted to Chapter 7, legal speak for the end of the road for a corporation that has no options left to restructure or recover. “There is no means to continue to pay employees, pay any bills, or otherwise finance this case,” bankruptcy Judge Thomas Horan said, calling Redbox and its corporate parent “hopelessly insolvent.” Work

They Just Need the Right Incentives. - Harvard Business Review Health care organizations have long tried to enlist physicians in their effort to control or reduce costs. One effective means for doing so is to create an incentive system that rewards physicians for their contributions. To design such a system, organizations should take into account these considerations: whether the incentives should be broad or narrow; whether they should be individual- or team-based; for how long to compensate; how much to compensate; and what mix of financial and nonfinancial incentives to offer.

WorkWorkBon Iver Is Searching for the Truth - The New Yorker Bon Iver is the alias of Justin Vernon, a singer, songwriter, and producer from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Since 2007, when Vernon released For Emma, Forever Ago, his dbut LP as Bon Iver, he has been making formally experimental but gorgeously tender music that seems to take equal inspiration from Bruce Hornsby and the Indigo Girls, Arthur Russell and Aphex Twin. (The project namea version of the French phrase Bon hiver, or Good winterwas borrowed from an episode of the television series Northern Exposure, a deep and formative work in Vernons life.) This week, Bon Iver will release SABLE, a three-song EP and the bands first new music since 2019s i,i. SABLE, is only a little more than twelve minutes long, but it feels revelatory, expansive, and raw. Vernon has a couple of different voicesa spectral falsetto; a deeper, throatier bellowbut its hard for me to think of another contemporary singer whose vocals carry quite as much pure, unmediated feeling. WorkWorkWorkWhy birds do not fall while sleepingIt may sound like a tall tale, but that is more or less the one recounted in a recent publication by a team of scientists at the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN) and the CNRS, which explains in the pages of the Journal of the Royal Society Interface1 how birds can sleep while standing, without losing their balance. We know horses and bovines are capable of this feat thanks to their four legs, but at first glance this does not seem so evident for birds. Scientists agree that this stability comes from one thing: tensegrity. Created from the contraction of the words “tension” and “integrity,” tensegrity is the property of a structure to remain stable and balanced thanks to the subtle interplay of tension and compression in the elements of which it is made.

Now What? - American Affairs JournalIf we lost a trade war, how long would it take us to find out? The vitality and flexibility of our financial system has obscured the degree to which we are living in the aftermath of a Chinese trade war victory—one in which the PRC not merely succeeded in subjecting the developed countries to trade competition, but also engineered the deindustrialization of both developed economies and many middle-income ones. This was not, however, merely a malign effort by a hostile foreign power. China profited from our own unforced errors and economic distortions. Our loss of capacity and foreign export markets shows that a naïve free markets, free trade perspective is inadequate for the challenges that an increasingly millenarian PRC leadership poses to the international system. WorkWorkWorkNo, tariffs dont fuel growth - WSJ Modern protectionists are desperate to find historical examples of tariffs promoting industrialization and economic growth. To this end, they increasingly argue that 19th-century America’s extraordinary economic success was fueled by high tariffs. In an essay for the Economist, former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer insists that “when America grew in the 19th century from a modest agricultural country into the world’s largest economy, tariffs were critical to its success." Oren Cass writes that “behind some of the world’s highest tariff barriers, the United States transformed from colonial backwater to continent-spanning industrial colossus." Michael Lind says the U.S. during the 19th century “pursued a successful import substitution strategy that transformed it from an agrarian to an industrial economy with the help of tariffs." WorkPeru Paamarca Archaeological Site Finds 'Hall of the Braided Serpents'“It’s very unusual for us to see the crowned woman seated on a throne inside a building holding court,” said Lisa Trever, a professor of art history and archaeology at Columbia University and one of the Pañamarca researchers. “I think we can say with some certainty that, regardless of who actually sat there, it was a throne for a queen, the throne for a woman.” WorkHarris distances herself from Biden, bashes Trump in tense Fox News interview"Over the last decade, it is clear to me and certainly the Republicans who are on stage with me, the former chief of staff to the president, Donald Trump, former defense secretaries, national security adviser and his vice president, one, that he is unfit to serve, that he is unstable, that he is dangerous. And that people are exhausted with someone who professes to be a leader who spends full time demeaning and engaging in personal grievances and it being about him and American people." WorkWorkWorkOpinion | AI, Aging and Shifts Globalization Will Shock the American EconomyThe U.S. work force has never aged like this. In 2000, there were about 27 Americans above the age of 65 for every one American of prime working age (between the ages of 20 and 49). By 2020, this number had increased to 39. By 2040, it will have risen to 54. Because these changes are driven mostly by a decline in fertility, the U.S. work force will also soon begin to grow more slowly. If immigration into the United States is reduced, as seems likely no matter who wins the election, this will only contribute to the aging problem.
