Home prices and rent prices in the USA have been growing steadily over the past decade. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has decimated entire sectors of the American economy, which makes the homebuying decision more intricate. We mapped multiple metrics to indicate the best place to buy a house amid COVID-19. For many counties in the central area of the USA, the price-to-rent ratio highly recommends people to buy a house, but the home prices have declined since the outbreak of COVID-19. The price-to-rent ratio and increasing home price suggest that people should not buy a home in big coastal cities under the current circumstances.

American Economy

A “global saving glut” was invented by Ben Bernanke in 2005 as a label for positive net lending (imports exceeding exports) to the American economy by the rest of the world. This trading situation had already emerged around 1980, and led to the Plaza Accord in 1985. One common explanation is based on the Mundell-Fleming IS/LM/BP model. But this model cannot be valid, since the “BP” equation is not independent of “IS.” Other champions of this saving glut hypothesis rely on loanable funds theory, which is institutionally inadequate. More plausible analyses of the persistent trade imbalance can be derived from a two-country IS/LM set-up devised by Wynne Godley, a Kaleckian description of the political economy of East Asia and the United States, and dissection of the terms of trade due to W. Arthur Lewis and Luigi Pasinetti.

New Look

The last ten years have seen immense advances in the conservation field in the United States. Thanks to the hard spadework of the conservation bodies, the general attitude towards wildlife has changed from ignorant and unregarding exploitation to demands for wise use on a sustained yield basis; people's interest in and knowledge about conservation has made possible a long and varied list of legislation. More than any other one person the man responsible for this is Stewart Udall, for the past eight years Secretary of the Interior with charge of all conservation matters. On his retirement in January this year Mr Udall kindly accepted our invitation to sum up this remarkable ‘new look’ in the USA.

Criminal Statistics

Some components of crime prevention strategies are a thing of the past, others have undergone significant metamorphoses, and still others have emerged in the last ten years, but in general the state and dynamics of crime as a result of the evolving model of preventive criminal policy and law enforcement remain stable. certain parameters that characterize modern crime, "suddenly" change the course (annual "minuses" are replaced by "pluses" and vice versa) and such fluctuations are sporadic. The mention of the "surprise" of such changes is primarily due to the fact that all these years in the United States there is an annual and significant increase in population, which for obvious reasons changes the crime rates (levels) in general and its types. The article is devoted to the problem of objective assessment of crime in the United States and the interpretation of the changes - absolute and relative indicators at a particular time. The indicators of crime in the USA are investigated; statistical data are presented; the structure and prevalence of crime is described. Criminal statistics data in the United States draw a meaningful and informative, but largely diagnostic picture of the phenomenon of modern crime in this country. The presented data of criminal statistics point to the prospect for more detailed, including comparative criminological research with the obligatory account of the requirements for the comparability of certain national indicators of crime statistics. The prevalence of homicide in any country has been found to be the most common and visible indicator of crime. In general, it should be noted that in absolute terms, the prevalence of homicides in the United States, as in several other countries, has remained quite stable for many years. Note that stable prevalence is generally one of the characteristics of this category of crimes. In Japan, for example, in the past 12 to 15 years, the number of murders has decreased annually by only a few (no more than 10 to 12) statistical units. From this point of view, the rapid rate of decline in the number of murders in Ukraine does not look at all convincing, as many studies of domestic criminologists have long and quite clearly indicated. As can be seen from the above data, the dynamics of relative homicide rates in the United States are outwardly less distinct, since, as noted, it is offset by annual and very significant population growth (over the past three years, it has grown by 7 million people).

The article analyzes the achievements and problems, which US President Donald Trump encountered during the implementation of his election program to transform the country. Author consider these subjects in the broad context of the transformation of the modern world order and the change in the narratives of global geopolitics. The author emphasizes that the United States is committed to the re-industrialization and nationalization of the American economy in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and the general global uncertainty of the prospects for world development. Main components of such politics are the struggle for jobs for Americans and competition for highly skilled labor in the global labor market. The main topic of research is focused on migration policy is an essential component of the overall reform plan. Taking into account that until recently the USA was the largest economy in the world, the author concludes that the US migration policy has a multifaceted global impact on the international labor market, since the USA is the main importer of labor. The main factors that have a decisive influence on the effectiveness of the implementation of the declared course are the features of the functioning of the American labor market (including the high cost of local labor and the lack of qualified personnel in a number of sectors of the American economy). Analyzing the effect of these factors, the author notes their contradictory effect on the country's economy and concludes that the measures taken are insufficient due to the situation of tough confrontation between the main political forces in modern America. The author claims that the growing global competition for highly qualified personnel will remain one of the main trends of the upcoming era. The aim of the work is conceptualization of approaches to the study of migration processes in the conditions of the technological transformation of the modern world and the interpretation of international experience in the reform of migration policies.

The year 1964 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the American National Red Cross water safety program. In that year, 232 persons were awarded the coveted Certificate of Merit for saving lives through skills learned in Red Cross courses. The certificate they won, which is signed by the President of the United States and the Chairman of the American Red Cross, may be granted to people who have had water safety or first aid training. Both programs share in the overall purpose of the American organization's Safety Services: the saving of lives through public education in accident prevention and through courses that teach people how to respond when accidents do happen in the home, at work, on the highway, in the water, and elsewhere. Thousands of heroes and heroines, many unrecognized, have used their training to avert tragedies throughout the United States over the past 50 years.

Meaningful Experiences

Over the past decade, tiny houses and the lifestyle they promote have become a world-wide phenomenon, with the trend especially impactful in the United States. Given their broad appeal and increasing prominence within popular culture, it is surprising how little research exists on them. To help to better understand what motivates people to adopt this lifestyle, this paper presents insights from an exploratory study in the United States and offers the first contours of a new conceptual framework. Situating the lifestyle within the larger economic and cultural forces of our times, it argues that going “tiny” is seen by tiny house enthusiasts as a practical roadmap to the Good Life: A simpler life characterized by more security, autonomy, relationships, and meaningful experiences. The paper ends with a brief discussion of broader implications and directions for future research.

In Ukraine, in October 1921, Metropolitan Vasyl Lipkivsky was quipped by the UAOC, which in the 1930s was completely liquidated in Ukraine. In 1924, Metropolitan Vasyl Lipkovsky sent to the United States Archbishop I. Theodorovich, who organized the UPA of the parish in the USA and Canada, and thus created the UAOC on the American continent. In his letter to Archbishop Ioan Teodorovich on March 27, 1946, Bishop Mstislav wrote: "... solemnly declare that I recognize the grace of the hierarchy of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in the United States of America and in Canada, the hierarchy that has renewed the function of the episcopal serving as the act of the First All-Ukrainian Orthodox Church Council in Kyiv, in the month of October 1921, as well as the sanctity of all the mysteries of the Church by that hierarchy of completed and completed in the past Church. "Unfortunately, it must be said that Archbishop Mstislav very much Ro broke his solemn affirmation of "the observance of the Autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the United States of America and in Canada, and the church and people's sovereignty of its system."

In 2018, a bipartisan consensus finally emerged in the United States, which is based on the policy of containing China in the military and technological spheres, as well as avoiding the dependence of the American economy on the PRC. The main geopolitical event of 2018-2019 was the escalation of the confrontation between the two most powerful powers of our time - the United States and China. The most notable episodes of this confrontation were the Washington-declared trade war, as well as the October speech by US Vice President Michael Pence at the Hudson Institute, which is already being compared to Churchill's Fulton speech. 2019 has become no less difficult for the relations of the two superpowers.
