Mitch MConnell, Mike Johnson, Pat Schumer and the effort to get Ukraine Aid passed through the US Congress in April 2024
04/26/2024
At a critical juncture which Lyrarc compared to the 1948 effort by Harry Truman to get Congress to support aid to Greece and Turkey. Devastated by the war Greece and Turkey's democracies faced an imminent threat from a Communist takeover supported by the Soviet bloc. Ukraine was at a critical juncture in the war with Russia when Biden met Republican Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House with Mitch McConnell and Pat Schumer in Feb 2024. Schumer said a lot of the credit goes to McConnell to convince 31 Republican Senators a majority of his caucus to support Ukraine Aid at a critical moment.

Great American Revival Industry Task Force
04/15/2020
The Trump Business task force has two tasks. How to respond to the economic damage from coronavirus and how to reopen the economy. The president is fine with reopening parts of the economy at a time, with the federal government working together with state governors - the least risk ones going first, the most risk ones coming last done on the advice of health experts. Testing and virus tracking are key issues in reopening the economy with systems that are both efficient and reliable needed for public to have confidence.

Xi Jinping's vision for China
09/21/2021
Much lower incomes for the 40% of Chinese who live in rural areas, and the worsening inequality during the pandemic with workers losing jobs or on low pay, with China lacking a system of unemployment insurance like the US and EU countries, have created a new urgency for president Xi to tackle these problems. Glaring inequality with IPO's creating new millionaires or billionaires are frowned upon and president Xi personally axed the Ant IPO. After a crackdown on corruption involving about 1 million people, Xi has shifted investment to rural areas to improve conditions of living. State run enterprises are seen as more reliable in achieving Xi's vision of less inequality after the excesses of unregulated capitalist development since 1990.

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.
