Has fear of Covid gone too far? Did the public sector take unwarranted measures for self-serving reasons?
While it is better to be safe than sorry, an otherwise sound principle can be taken too far. Such appears to be the case of the Covid crisis where 70 per cent of deaths from the disease in the UK and Israel are among the fully vaccinated..
In the popular imagination, amplified by an uncritical partisan media, fault is usually found lurking in the dark hearts of the big business patriarchy and personified as the cartoonish "Daddy Warbucks".

Taming the regulatory framework on shipping: Does it require a more evidentiary basis than it has today?
A key economic difference between communism and national socialism is that communists insist they own the means of production while Nazis are content to control it.
While avoiding communism, the western free markets appear to have fallen prey to a national socialist fate, becoming prisoners of ever expanding environmental, health and safety regulations, requiring permission to implement any initiative.

Biden clings to Trump's anti-China policy to retain the one voting bloc he fears losing next November
Despite the restoration of the Deep State power in Washington, the radicalised Biden administration dare not reverse the anti-China policy they inherited from former President Donald Trump lest they lose support from old style, largely male, Democratic voters with traditional values - values no longer shared today's party leadership.
The Democratic leadership plans to flood America with illegals from across the Mexican border and make them reliable Democratic voters in time for the November 2022 mid-term elections, appears to be working well. Printing money to flood the economy with an extra US$6 trillion in Covid crisis spending should keep GDP buoyant for a time.

Weighing future prospects of 'static routing' versus 'dynamic routing' in ocean container shipping today
One of the more novel ideas in shipping surfaces in an article in Singapore's respected shipping portal, Splash 247. It proposes that ocean carriers abandon traditional "static routing" in favour of "dynamic routing" to cope with today's uncertain shipping environment.
"While dynamic routing has been very much used by the road transport sector mainly due to the much needed last-mile flexibility, it can be deployed by other transport modes such as aeroplanes or ships," Splash 247 notes.
