When US President Joe Biden proposed taking in 100,000 war refugees from Ukraine, several commentators wondered why Washington did not do the same with tens of thousands of Afghan allies left behind to confront the Taliban. Such debates tend to portray the United States as incapable of handling more people. There is indeed plenty of room – and need – for more immigrants in an American economy that suffers from an acute and growing labor shortage. According to a recent Conference Board survey, most of the 900 US chief executives consider labor shortages to be their “number one foreign threat.”Read News

No longer just for kids, video games can be found in almost every home, handbag and pocket on the planet. And the genre seemingly more popular than any other is about the same thing: violence.
