![]() The man who barely abstains from violating either the person, or the estate, or the reputation of his neighbours, has surely very little positive merit. ![]() ![]() This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and powerful, and to despise or, at least, neglect persons of poor and mean conditions, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind.As to love our neighbour as we love ourselves is the great law of Christianity, so it is the great precept of nature to love ourselves only as we love our neighbour, or what comes to the same thing, as our neighbour is capable of loving us.Men of retirement and speculation, who are apt to sit brooding at home over either grief or resentment, though they may often have more humanity, more generosity, and a nicer sense of honour, yet seldom possess that equality of temper which is so common among men of the world. Society and conversation, therefore, are the most powerful remedies for restoring the mind to its tranquillity, if, at any time, it has unfortunately lost it as well as the best preservatives of that equal and happy temper, which is so necessary to self-satisfaction and enjoyment.I neither have, nor can have, any other way of judging about them. I judge of your sight by my sight, of your ear by my ear, of your reason by my reason, of your resentment by my resentment, of your love by my love. Every faculty in one man is the measure by which he judges of the like faculty in another.How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) Part I Letter to Henry Dundas (1 November 1779), quoted in Adam Smith, The Correspondence of Adam Smith, eds.The general opulence and improvement of Ireland might certainly, under proper management, afford much greater resources to the Government, than can ever be drawn from a few mercantile or manufacturing towns. I perfectly agree with your Lordship too, that to crush the Industry of so great and so fine a province of the empire, in order to favour the monopoly of some particular towns in Scotland or England, is equally unjust and impolitic.The Future Hope in Adam Smith’s System, Paul Oslington Mossner and Ian Simpson Ross, 2nd edition, Oxford University Press 1986.

Today you can buy the bat-and-ball set as cheaply as $2.49.įrom 1956 until 1992 the familiar Wiffle Ball box displayed a picture and endorsement from a big league star, like Whitey Ford, Eddie Mathews, Ted Williams, Jackie Jensen, Pete Rose, Mike Scott, or Rick Sutcliffe. The original Wiffle bat was wood, but for many years it has been a skinny yellow fungo-shaped plastic bat, manufactured by another company. The Wiffle Ball sold for 49 cents in 1959, only 75 cents in 1985. The company employs about 20 people, working three machines. The Wiffle factory is a small "undistinguished" two story building in Shelton, Connecticut,đ0 miles from New Haven. His father passed away in 1990, but two more Mallany's, grandsons David J. Mullany, the first person to throw a Wiffle curve, became president of the company. It is still a privately held company and does not disclose its sales figures, except to say that millions have been sold.Ğxperiments with Wiffle golf, basketball, and football were flops, but the original ball has been a steady seller.ĭavid A. has not been taken over by a giant international conglomerate which makes ovens, dog food, asphalt shingles and sporting goods.

"I'll never forget how the name came about," said the elder Mullany. The ball that worked best had eight oblong holes on the top half, and a solid bottom. The Mullany's finally concluded that it was the shape of the holes, rather than the precise volume of plastic removed, was the critical factor in the ball's performance. Then they'd tape two halves together and try out the ball. Father and son cut holes, diamonds, and other shapes out of the balls, to create an imbalance. Mullany reasoned that a plastic ball could be made to curve if its two hemispheres were of unequal weight. With a baseball, a pitcher throws a curve by creating unequal spin on the two sides of the ball. He brought them home, and that night he and his son sat at the kitchen table with white plastic hemispheres, a few razor blades and some scotch tape. "The mold was still there so my friend pulled off some samples for me." "They made a plastic-ball gift box for Coty, the perfume company," said Mullany. Besides guns, the company made packaging products. The elder Mullany called a friend who worked at the nearby Colt Firearms factory.

Mullany - a former college and semipro pitcher - watched his son trying to throw a curve with the plastic golf ball, and he got an idea.

For example, we find ourselves waiting for the next big thing too often. While we like the Disney Plus apps - they're all snappy and responsive and well made - we've always wanted more from the service.

![]() DOD has requested congressional approval to use some of the funds provided in May to increase production capabilities for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) or Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) and 155-millimeter (mm) ammunition. The Department of Defense (DOD) has been talking with the defense industry about increasing production, and the industry is open to doing that. Many stakeholders are likely to object.ĭecisionmakers are likely willing to accept more inventory risk if production lines are surging, so that replacement systems will arrive more quickly. However, war plan development is a complex bureaucratic process involving many stakeholders, so revising assumptions and requirements takes time and effort. For example, war plans involving Russia might be modified in the near- and mid-term to account for the degradation of Russia’s capabilities as a result of the war in Ukraine. Decisionmakers could adjust assumptions and thereby free up additional inventory to send to Ukraine. Judgments about risk arise from assumptions about the length and intensity of the conflict, the role of allies and partners, and the nature of the threat. For some munitions, the driving war plan would be a conflict with China over Taiwan or in the South China Sea for others, particularly ground systems, the driving war plan would be North Korea or Europe. Because of its ties to states, the National Guard has strong representation in Congress and has historically been reluctant to accept any policy that implies second-class status.įor munitions, the United States needs to maintain stockpiles to support war plans. ![]() Furthermore, there is a political challenge: most of these late-deploying units are in the National Guard. Unit training would be more difficult without a complete set of equipment, and mobilization might be slowed due to the cross-leveling process. Because the units are late deploying, there would be enough time to redistribute assets. In the unlikely event of a major conflict, these units could get additional systems from overhead or new production. Army could temporarily equip some artillery batteries with four howitzers instead of the customary six or eight. In theory, the United States could take some systems from late-deploying units. The Risks of Weapons Drawdownįor weapons, inventory concerns arise because the United States needs to have enough systems to equip operational units and an amount for maintenance pipelines and training organizations. ![]() The key judgment for both munitions and weapons is how much risk the United States is willing to accept. inventories are reaching the minimum levels needed for war plans and training. In most instances, the amounts given to Ukraine are relatively small compared to U.S. The United States has given Ukraine dozens of different munitions and weapon systems. |
