‘The House passed a large defense bill Friday evening that included a provision that would automatically enroll young men between the ages of 18 and 26* for the Selective Service.’
‘The House’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would authorize $895 billion in military spending, passed by a vote of 217–199. It’s unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments. The Selective Service provision, though, is part of an enduring bipartisan effort to keep the framework for military conscription in place, even though the draft ended in 1975.’

US De‐globalization: The Rise of Trade Protectionism
De-globalization – i.e., the process of weakening interdependency between countries (Petricevic & Teece, 2019; Witt, 2019) – has been ongoing for several years. The process is being underpinned by trade protectionism; government-level initiatives aimed at protecting domestic markets by imposing import tariffs, the strict enforce- ment of product standards, and policy regimes (Evenett, 2019; Grundke & Moser, 2019). The proponents of de-globalization argue that trade protectionism safeguards the sovereignty of countries (Enderwick, 2011).

‘When I applied to Yale University as a high school senior, I was told to expect rejection. There were plenty of reasons that I should not have held my breath—eighteen students in my graduating class were vying for the limited seats at Yale, my GPA was a less-than-stellar approximate 3.7 unweighted, and my test scores were lower than those of all of the other applicants from my high school. Rather than focusing all my effort on academics throughout high school, I had devoted my time to founding a nonprofit organization aimed at promoting bystander intervention and bringing emotional intelligence (EQ) into the classroom. Following my authentic passions allowed me to make meaningful change in my community, but it did not yield stand-out grades and test scores. In addition, no one from my school had been accepted to Yale within the past decade.’
