Ever been in a meeting where someone used an acronym you pretended to understand? Maybe you’re nodding along while frantically Googling under the table. Now, imagine that feeling of being slightly out-of-sync, multiplied across your entire workforce. Not a specific project failure, but a slow, creeping sense of skills drift. It is a silent productivity and growth killer. On top of that, roles are changing, and if skill sets aren’t updated, it ends up widening the gap between what your business needs to thrive and the skills they have. In the end, it’ll leave employees feeling undervalued, and managers ‌frustrated.…

At its core, economics is about making choices. We face trade-offs. If you want more of this, you must give up some of that. Non-economists often ignore the trade-offs. For example, protectionists argue tariffs will help American industries compete with their foreign rivals while raising a lot of revenue for the American people. Not so fast, say the economists.

If tariff rates are high, most people will stop importing.…

Alexander Nikishkin may get an early release from SKA but Ivan Demidov likely won’t Marco D’Amico of RG.org: Montreal Canadiens prospect Ivan Demidov led KHL rookies and SKA with 19 goals and 49 points this season.
