Social Security is in Trouble Presented by: Dr. David K. Ewen Social Security is facing a daunting financial challenge that threatens its very existence. The trust fund that supports it is projected to run out of funds by 2033, which means that the program will have to rely solely on tax revenues to cover only 77% of the benefits promised to beneficiaries. This sharp reduction in benefits, a staggering 23%, is a cause for concern among recipients and policymakers alike. To address these challenges, several proposals have been suggested, such as increasing taxes or cutting benefits. Yet, implementing any changes would be a Herculean task due to expected opposition. Urgent action is required to prevent the benefits' sudden and drastic reduction, which would have severe consequences for millions of people. The reform principles proposed by experts include long-term self-funding, shared responsibility across generations, adequate benefits for low-income retirees, and limits on future g...

Hypersonic Missiles is a Game Changer in Global Security Presented by Dr. David K. Ewen June 3, 2023 The race to develop hypersonic missiles has reached new heights, with China, Russia, and the United States all seeking to gain a significant edge in the global security landscape. These missiles pose a formidable challenge to traditional defense systems and have the potential to reshape the outcome of conflicts. What makes hypersonic missiles so special is their exceptional speed, which can reach up to Mach 5, making them almost impossible to intercept. Their ability to maneuver during flight only adds to their elusiveness, making them a powerful tool in modern warfare. Another key attribute that makes hypersonic missiles so attractive is their versatility in payload delivery. Nations can use them to carry different types of warheads, including nuclear and conventional ones, which gives them greater flexibility in the use of force. However, this expanded range of options can also compli...

Chinese Invasion of Taiwan 2027 Presented by: Dr. David K. Ewen June 3, 2023 Taiwan's foreign minister, Joseph Wu, has sounded the alarm about a possible Chinese invasion of the island in 2027. In an interview with LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, Wu stressed that Taiwan is taking the Chinese military threat very seriously and is working hard to strengthen its defense capabilities ahead of the predicted year of invasion. China's military activity around Taiwan has intensified in recent months, causing tensions to mount in the region. China has been pushing the envelope with its provocative actions, including sending an unprecedented number of military aircraft into Taiwan's air defense identification zone and conducting live-fire exercises near the island. China has made its intentions clear, repeatedly stating that it will use force to prevent Taiwan from declaring independence. Taiwan has been self-governing since the Chinese Civil War in 1949, when the Kuomintang (KM...

China Has Been Trying for a While to Make the Yuan a Global Currency Presented by: Dr. David K. Ewen Did you know that the Chinese economy holds the coveted position of being the second-largest in the world? While this is an impressive feat, its currency, the yuan, has yet to reach the coveted status of a major global currency. However, recent geopolitical developments, particularly the war in Ukraine, could change this narrative. China has long been working towards establishing the yuan as a global currency, and it has implemented various measures to facilitate this goal. The most notable of these initiatives include the launch of the Cross-Border Interbank Payments System (CIPS) and the introduction of yuan-denominated crude oil futures contracts. Despite these efforts, the trading volume of the yuan still remains less than a tenth of the U.S. dollar, and it is involved in only a small fraction of global payments. Nevertheless, the conflict in Ukraine has led several countries to rec...

Presented by: Dr. David K. Ewen Some of the biggest retail chains in the United States, such as Macy's, Costco, and Dollar General, are seeing a significant change in customer behavior. Shoppers are no longer frequenting these stores as often as they used to, and their purchasing habits have shifted. Experts are worried about the implications this change may have on the US economy. The numbers speak for themselves: Macy's has reported a decrease in annual profit and sales forecasts, with same-store sales plummeting by 8.7% last quarter. Costco has noticed that customers are opting for more affordable meats like chicken and pork, instead of more expensive options like steak and beef. Even Dollar General, a store that caters to lower-income families, has seen a decline in sales of non-essential items. These changes indicate that consumers are cutting back on non-essential spending, which could lead to a potential economic slowdown. It's crucial for policymakers and economist...
