Steve Jobs Tim Cook and shipping out of America' industrial base and with it America's leadership of the Free World
05/26/2025
America's industrial strength, it's industrial base, is one of the four pillars of America's leadership of the Free World. Without it the Free World will fall apart. The other pillars are it's education and it's health care. Underfunding of education with declining enrolment of men in college and lack of factory jobs comes with loss of the industrial base for taxes, taxes avoided by Apple and other companies. All these problems are becoming clear in 2025 as DJT calls for reindustrializing the Nation.

How India could get the Trade Deal with the US by buying oil from US and Saudis/UAE and allowing imports of non grain and non dairy agricultural products
08/28/2025
US sanctioned India with 50% tariff for buying Russian oil saying it finances RUssia's war against Ukraine and daily deadly missile strikes. ein dollar terms are now insignificant at $2-the 3 billion. In fact India is already shifting to getting more of its imports from the Middle East. India could also import additional oil from the US and make changes to import non grain and non dairy agricultural products from the US in large volumes such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, blueberries, cherries that it's upper middle class population of 250 million could benefit from the nutritional benefits. US in its fight against the pharmaceutical companies high pricing could change laws to bring in Indian pharmaceutical products at 10-15% price above Indian prices set by the government to meet needs of its large population. In pharma product pricing India leads the whole world and this benefit would lower the cost of living in the US tremendously. Both sides would benefit in a WIn-WIn relationship in trade- THIS IS ACHIEVABLE FOR THE INTERESTS OF AMERICANS AND INDIANS. IT ONLY REQUIRES VISION OF BOTH SIDES.

DJT US 25% auto import tariff April 2, 2025
03/30/2025
The impact of the 25% DJT US auto import tariff comes after NAFTA and USMCA Trade Treaty did little to prevent the outshoring of US jobs and manufacturing to Mexico and Canada. German and South Korean companies made about 80% to 60% of cars sold in the US in Mexico or in their home country. The outshoring was used by American and foreign companies as a way to keep American automobile wages low as American companies could threaten workers asking for higher wages with loss of jobs by outshoring the production. This happened for two decades under the elder Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. The US International Trade Commission estimates in a 2024 study that this 25% tariff would increase revenues by 5% and prices by 5% in the US for cars. Higher prices over 10% would be borne by affluent buyers of BMW's, Benz and Audis. Because US auto plants have excess capacity and operate at 60% in 2025 they could quickly increase American production without increasing prices as American manufacturers car sales increase. Hyundai plans to invest $21 billion in US plants from 2025. UAW union supports this move by DJT and trade advisers Lighthizer, Jamieson USTR, and Navarro.

The two tumultuous weeks in July 2024 started with a sniper shooting at the former president, followed by the Republican Convention within days. The president's address calling for calm, Trump's 90 RNC address which rambled to veer off course. Second thoughts about Trump and Biden's age and calls by Democrats for Biden to withdraw after the faltering delivery in the debate. Biden has Covid and isolates for a few days. On July 22 around 1.45 pm Biden puts out a letter on X (Twitter) that he is withdrawing and giving his full support to Kamala. Within hours Harris has overwhelming support. The next day morning Harris has secured the delegates needed. By the 24th in 48 hours she has raised $250 million for the campaign and about 100,000 volunteers. A dizzying pace for 48 hours that riveted the attention of the American people and the world.

Changes in Saudi society and women's participation under MBS 2023
09/30/2023
Profound changes are taking place in Saudi society and participation, opportunities for women. It is similar to what happened in Turkey under Kemal Ataturk in the 1920's and 1930's. The role of MBZ in the United Arab Emirates and of MBS in Saudi in bringing changes to societies that have not changed since the Renaissance changed the way Europe looked at the world leading to the scientific and industrial revolutions. These changes affect a larger region extending from Saudi to India and Indonesia, that increase participation of women and the exercise of fundamental rights of women, participation of women in society and opportunities for education and advancement. The changes for women in East Asian societies are now within reach of South Asian and West Asian socieities as they embrace the scientific and industrial revolutions.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
