Chomsky and Pollin: We Can't Rely on Private Sector for Necessary
So-Called Democratic “Moderates” Are Actually Right-Wingers Who Have Always Thrown Up Roadblocks To Social Progress CJ Polychroniou The U.S. is the only liberal-democratic country in the world with a political system set up for two mainstream parties, a long and continuous history of union suppression, and without a major socialist party at the national level. How is it possible that the world’s largest economy has a crumbling infrastructure (“shabby beyond belief” is how the CEO of Legal & General, a multinational financial services and asset management company, described it back in 2016), and ranks in the lower half of second tier countries, behind economic powerhouses Cyprus and Greece, on the 2020 Social Progress Index? It’s the politics, stupid! The United States is the only liberal-democratic country in the world with a political system set up for two mainstream parties, a long and continuous history of union suppression, and without a major socialist party at the national level. Indeed, the countries that perform best on the Social Progress Index have multi- party systems, strong labor unions, a plethora of left-wing parties, and adhere to the social democratic model. In other words, politics explains why the United States did not develop a European-style welfare state. Political factors also explain why economic inequalities are so huge in the US and the middle class is shrinking; why the quality of America’s health care system is dead last when compared with other western, industrialized nations; why there are millions of homeless people; and why the infrastructure resembles that of a third-world country. -

Spring 2017 Industry Study Industry Report Electronics
Spring 2017 Industry Study Industry Report Electronics The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, DC 20319-5062 i ELECTRONICS 2017 ABSTRACT: While currently assessed as mature and healthy, the global semiconductor industry is facing a strategic inflection point. This inflection will shape a future for the industry that is significantly different than the past. Although outlook for that future remains favorable, numerous challenges place that future at risk. Challenges found in Chinese competition, skilled workforce shortages, commercial semiconductor market shifts, unique DoD electronics needs, and ongoing requirements for rapid innovation threaten the stability of the market, the U.S. competitive advantage, and U.S. economic and national security. Future success in the industry hinges upon policies which address these challenges and enable U.S. companies to embrace future opportunities. LTC Khalid Alothman, Saudi Arabian Army CDR Terri L.

Station Ownership and Programming in Radio
FCC Media Ownership Study #5: Station Ownership and Programming in Radio By Tasneem Chipty CRA International, Inc. June 24, 2007 * CRA International, Inc., 200 Clarendon Street, T-33, Boston, MA 02116. I would like to thank Rashmi Melgiri, Matt List, and Caterina Nelson for helpful discussions and valuable assistance. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of CRA International, Inc., or any of its other employees. Station Ownership and Programming in Radio by Tasneem Chipty, CRA International, June, 2007 I. Introduction Out of concern that common ownership of media may stifle diversity of voices and viewpoints, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has historically placed limits on the degree of common ownership of local radio stations, as well as on cross-ownership among radio stations, television stations, and newspapers serving the same local area. The 1996 Telecommunications Act loosened local radio station ownership restrictions, to different degrees across markets of different sizes, and it lifted all limits on radio station ownership at the national level. Subsequent FCC rule changes permitted common ownership of television and radio stations in the same market and also permitted a certain degree of cross-ownership between radio stations and newspapers. These changes have resulted in a wave of radio station mergers as well as a number of cross-media acquisitions, shifting control over programming content to fewer hands. For example, the number of radio stations owned or operated by Clear Channel Communications increased from about 196 stations in 1997 to 1,183 stations in 2005; the number of stations owned or operated by CBS (formerly known as Infinity) increased from 160 in 1997 to 178 in 2005; and the number of stations owned or operated by ABC increased from 29 in 1997 to 71 in 2005. -
FY2020 Report to the President Overview This Year, the MIT Alumni
MIT Alumni Association ~ FY2020 Report to the President Overview This year, the MIT Alumni Association (the Association or MITAA), along with the rest of the Institute, experienced the challenging headwinds generated by the Jeffrey Epstein-MIT Media Lab matter, followed by the once-in-a-century Covid-19 pandemic that produced impacts on all aspects of society. Later in the academic year, the widespread antiracism movement, sparked by police violence, added further complexity and offered opportunity for connecting with our community. These extraordinary circumstances, though, did not deter the Association from staying the course in year three of its Strategic Plan with its North Star Vision: to engage and inspire the global MIT community to make a better world. It was the foundational partnerships between the Association, its Board of Directors, key Institute leaders, and many dedicated volunteers and donors that helped to keep the MIT community of alumni and alumnae, parents, and friends close and engaged throughout the year. Following the revelations of MIT’s engagements with Jeffrey Epstein, the Association served as a conduit between the Institute and the alumni/ae community, providing senior leadership and the MIT Corporation with important insights on sentiment and offering opportunities for repair and restoration. This worked help diffuse tensions and kept our alumni community focused on the long- term health of MIT. In the final weeks of the academic year, as the MITAA was pivoting its signature event, Tech Reunions, to a virtual global gathering, the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the calls for social justice prompted the Institute to affirm and energize its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. -

The Stars Group and FOX Sports Announce Historic U.S. Media and Sports Wagering Partnership May 8, 2019 Toronto and Los Angeles, May 8, 2019 – The Stars Group Inc. (Nasdaq: TSG)(TSX: TSGI) and FOX Sports, a unit of Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX), today announced plans to launch FOX Bet, the first-of-its kind national media and sports wagering partnership in the United States. The Stars Group and FOX Sports have entered a long-term commercial agreement through which FOX Sports will provide The Stars Group with an exclusive license to use certain FOX Sports trademarks. The Stars Group and FOX Sports expect to launch two products in the Fall of 2019 under the FOX Bet umbrella.

The second product, which will be named FOX Bet, will give customers in states with regulated betting the opportunity to place real money wagers on the outcome of a wide range of sporting events in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. In addition to the commercial agreement of up to 25 years and associated product launches, Fox Corporation will acquire 14,352,331 newly issued common shares in The Stars Group, representing 4.99% of The Stars Group’s issued and outstanding common shares, at a price of $16.4408 per share, the prevailing market price leading up to the commencement of exclusive negotiations.
