round table: A proposal under discussion would see the minimum wage pushed up to 66% of median earnings, meeting the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's definition of low pay, according to The Independent.

middlebury institute: The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey provided CNN with two images of the smoke trail, according to CNN.

The location of the launch, the thick, smoky appearance of the exhaust and the fact that there is only one rocket trail all suggest this was the short-range ballistic missile that North Korea showed in its propaganda, said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Middlebury Institute. The missile test, North Korea's first since 2017, serves as a clear warning of leader Kim Jong Un's frustration at the state of talks with the US, which have been deadlocked since President Donald Trump walked out of their Vietnam summit early in February.

dalio: Obviously, normal fiscal policy is usually the way we handle those sorts of investments, according to Market Watch. But the problem with relying on fiscal policies in a downturn besides them being highly politically charged is that it is slow to respond it has long lead times, you have to make programs, concerns over deficits can make it more challenging politically to pass fiscal stimulus, etc., Dalio said. In a Wednesday blog post on Linked In, Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates LP, the world's biggest hedge fund, said the ineffectiveness of current monetary policy alone, including cutting interest rates or offering cheap financing to a select few, will make some version of strategies like so-called Modern Monetary Theory MMT or what he refers to as Monetary Policy 3 MP3 more tenable options in the future. It is inevitable that this shift will happen because it is inevitable that central bankers will want to ease when interest rates are pinned at 0% and when quantitative easing will be ineffective in achieving the goal, he wrote. Billionaire Dalio makes the case that traditional policies have widened the gap between the poor and the wealthy rather than helping to stimulate growth across socioeconomic classes, among other aforementioned foibles. Proponents of MMT argue that a government that borrows in its own currency doesn't need to worry about running up a deficit as long as inflation isn't running out of control because it controls the money-printing press.
