☆ How Sweden Saved Social Security
  + stars: | 2023-02-23 | by ( Johan Norberg | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Stockholm‘There are few issues on which Sweden and the United States are not in perfect sync,” then-Vice President Joe Biden said here in 2016. Here’s one: Social Security.

  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Mengqi Sun | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +4 min
The Treasury Department’s anti-money-laundering whistleblower program, which was established in 2021 but has been viewed as lacking teeth, got a shakeup in the recent omnibus spending bill that lawyers predict will result in more whistleblower cases. The 2021 defense bill establishing the program laid out a maximum 30% cut for the whistleblower but listed no minimum. The new legislation also sets up a revolving fund at the Treasury Department used to pay whistleblowers with money collected from enforcement actions based on their tips. The overhauled whistleblower program will strengthen FinCEN’s enforcement capability, said Jason Zuckerman, a whistleblower lawyer at Zuckerman Law in Washington. “Creating a credible anti-money-laundering whistleblower program will encourage whistleblowers to come forward.”Write to Mengqi Sun at mengqi.sun@wsj.com

☆ Ill-equipped Russian soldiers with only days of training are dying in combat: 'these guys are just literally cannon fodder'
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Hannah Getahun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russia's military has made it a priority to quickly recoup the number of soldiers it has to fight. Mobilization efforts have resulted in soldiers with little training being sent to the front lines. Some of these recruits had less than 10 days of training, the Times reported. "They are giving them at best basics and at worst nothing and throwing them into combat, which suggests that these guys are just literally cannon fodder," William Alberque, a specialist in the Russian armed forces, told the Times. One user on social media claimed Russian soldiers were living in "inhumane conditions" and had to provide themselves with food, the Times reported.
