24562 [lbo-talk] injury reports MIA -- rank: 1000
Editor & Publisher Online - OCTOBER 23, 2003 Press Underreports Wounded in Iraq Few Newspapers Tally Injuries, Accidents By Seth Porges NEW YORK -- When newspapers reported this week on poor medical and living conditions for Americans injured in Iraq, it might have come as a shock for some readers. For months, the press has barely mentioned non-fatal casualties or the severity of their wounds. E&P reported in July that while deaths in combat are often tallied by newspapers, the many non- ...

Joseph Wanzala wrote: >Yes, I believe Chomsky has contested this contention Yup, and I was very persuaded. But Jamie Galbraith is a serious person and his father was a close advisor to JFK and it feels like a rethink might be necessary, which is a pain. As Jamie said when I told him that, quoting his wife, it's a cruel multivariate world out there. Doug

24567 [lbo-talk] McKinsey on offshoring -- rank: 1000
An optimistic take: <http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/article_page.asp?ar=1363&L2=7&L3=10&srid=63&gp=1>. (You may have to register.) The savings enjoyed by companies that move labor-intensive service industry work from the United States to countries with lower labor costs have triggered an exodus of US business-processing jobs. Some analysts project that by 2015 roughly 3.3 million of them will have moved abroad. This prospect has prompted calls for the government to restri ...

24568 [lbo-talk] 200K Jobs A Month? What About The 344K Promised Earlier? -- rank: 1000
Dwayne Monroe wrote: >Monthly job creation of 200,000 and maintaining >unemployment at its current level is far from a >satisfactory economic performance. The long-term average growth in U.S. employment is about 2% a year, which at present employment levels, would translate into 229,000 new jobs a month. So 200k would be 13% below that average. But coming after losses averaging 31,000 a month over the last year, it would seem pretty good. So W could spin it pretty positively if the gain ...

I just got back from another of those chatfests at the Council on Foreign Relations, this about the new book by Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay, America Unbound. The authors draw a distinction between neocons - Wolfowitz, Kristol, etc. - and "assertive nationalists" - Cheney, Rummy, and W. The former want to remake the world; the latter, just to assert American interests. The acid test of the difference is "nation building," with the neocons (or "democratic imperialists&qu ...
