TO LAND a job in Jordan’s public sector is to land a job for life—unless you are the prime minister. Starting on May 30th thousands of Jordanians came out to protest against subsidy cuts and new taxes planned by the government of Hani Mulki.
MIKE LEVIN has the perfect hair, wash-and-wear grin and firm yet unthreatening handshake of a seasoned politician. What he lacked, at least by the standards of California’s wealthy 49th district, was money. Paul Kerr, a property investor and one of Mr Levin’s 16 rivals in the primary on June 6th, spent more than $4m of his own money.
THERE are several reasons why some people make more money than others. They could be brighter, or harder-working, or have rare talents. They could do jobs that pay better because they are unpleasant or dangerous. All these factors are important, but the strongest predictor of how much you earn is where you were born.
THEY have been living in tents in parks and community centres and the authorities are straining to care for them. But 23 years after the end of the Bosnian war, which saw 2.2m people, or half the population, displaced, the new refugees in Bosnia are Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis and others.
THEY’RE watching you. When you walk to work, CCTV cameras film you and, increasingly, recognise your face. Drive out of town, and number-plate-reading cameras capture your journey. The smartphone in your pocket leaves a constant digital trail. Browse the web in the privacy of your home, and your actions are logged and analysed.
DURING the worst days of the euro-zone debt crisis, the fear was that bond-market turmoil in places such as Greece and Spain would spread to Italy. The biggest debtor in Europe would be too big to bail out, so Grexit might lead to Italexit and the break-up of the euro. Now the attention is focused directly on Italy itself.
IT IS a classic startup story, but with a twist. Three 20-somethings launched a firm out of a dorm room at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2016, with the goal of using algorithms to predict the reply to an e-mail.
AT THE annual World Series of Poker, which begins this week in Las Vegas, the main event is the no-limit Texas hold ’em tournament. In the course of two weeks of gruelling knock-out play, several thousand players are whittled down to just two, playing “heads-up” for one of the WSOP’s coveted bracelets.
“HOW the human got his brain” is probably the most important “Just So” story that Rudyard Kipling never wrote. Kipling did not ignore people in his quirky take on evolution. Two of his tales describe the invention of the alphabet and the invention of letter-writing.
SIX years ago Nabil Musa, a Kurdish environmentalist, returned from over a decade abroad to find Iraq transformed. Rivers in which he had swum year-round turned to dust in summer. Skies once crowded with storks and herons were empty. Drought had pushed farmers to abandon their crops, and dust storms, once rare, choked the air.
DONORS to charities rarely make the sort of cost-benefit calculations investors, for example, would think obligatory. So charities attract donations with pictures of smiling gap-toothed children, rather than spreadsheets showing how they actually spend their money.
THE cliché of luxury penthouses and Gucci stores cheek-by-jowl with filth and poverty is usually reserved for poor-world entrepôts. But the contrasts in San Francisco—the richest city in America by median household income—could in places rival those in Mumbai.
REPUBLICANS have long prided themselves on their commitment to free markets. These days, however, there seem to be fewer and fewer industries in which the GOP is unwilling to intervene.
AT LEAST it’s finished. Viewers may well be perplexed by Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote”, but they can take comfort in knowing that the 77-year-old director has got it out of his system at long, long last, after enduring struggles and setbacks which would have killed most of us.
IF YOU are selling shares, they are worth not what you paid for them, but what someone else will offer. For the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the sum that counts is £2.71 ($3.62).
SINCE the vote to leave the European Union, a striking number of Britons have exhibited symptoms of a new medical condition, “Brexit derangement syndrome”. BDS has afflicted some of the country’s most prominent figures. Lord Adonis, a former Labour minister, has argued that Brexit is “largely the creation of the BBC”.
FOR the past ten weeks French cheminots, or railway workers, have been on strike for two days out of every five. This unusual pattern of rolling industrial action, which gives commuters a three-day respite before the disruption returns, is particularly confusing.
ON JUNE 5th Miss America announced that it would ditch the bikinis and become a “competition”, rather than a pageant. “We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance,” announced Gretchen Carlson (pictured), the chairwoman of Miss America’s board of directors, and a former Miss America (1989).
EVERY year ILGA-Europe, an NGO, produces a “Rainbow Index” comparing the rights of LGBTI people across European nations. The organisation ranks countries by their laws and policies.
THREE years ago, when the Supreme Court opened marriage to gays and lesbians, Justice Clarence Thomas warned that religious people would be “confronted with demands to participate in and endorse civil marriages between same-sex couples”.
A COMPLAINT often made of Donald Trump’s presidency is that many of the voters who delivered him to the Oval Office will suffer from his policies. These include the tax cut, with its benefits heavily skewed towards the rich.
THE Theatre Royal Haymarket’s production looked so promising on paper. “Tartuffe”, Molière’s masterly lampoon of courtly vanity and hypocrisy, seemed fit for relocation to 21st-century Los Angeles.
THE contrast could not have been starker. In a picture released by his office on May 25th, Moon Jae-in, South Korea’s president, looked a decade older than his 65 years. All facial features pointing downwards, he might have been about to cry.
TODAY is National Moonshine Day, when American tipplers lift a mason jar to the illegal liquor that got them through Prohibition. For most drinkers, that world of bootleggers and secret stills is just a part of history. But roughly 18m Americans still live in “dry” counties or municipalities, where the sale of alcohol is banned by law.
DONALD TRUMP’S campaign slogan promised to “Make America Great Again”. Mr Trump is now 500 days into his presidency, and seems ready to proclaim victory. The president reckons that a strong economy and soaring confidence are a result of his policies. “Best Economy & Jobs EVER,” he tweeted today.
IT IS easy to forget how deeply the world reviled Kanye West in 2009. He had committed what seemed at the time a virtuoso act of indecency at an awards show, interrupting a 19-year-old singer accepting a prize to tell her “Imma let you finish” before letting everyone know that a more deserving winner was sitting in the audience.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is about to find out how easy trade wars are to win. In the name of America’s national security, on May 31st he announced tariffs on steel and aluminium from Canada, Mexico and the European Union. From midnight that same day, trade flows worth $23bn in 2017 faced duties of up to 25%.\nTariffs are a tax.
PASSING through wide fields of wheat and potatoes, route D915 links the northern French port of Dieppe with Pontoise, north-west of Paris. On a straight stretch of single-carriageway road, lined with sycamores, cars tear along above the 90kph (55mph) speed limit, dodging oncoming traffic to overtake.
