Entry level (Tier 2) Fiat-Chrysler auto workers to get raises in 2015 to $17-24 from $16-19 based on seniority
09/18/2015
The rate increases to $22-$25 by 2018. This is part of a new agreement between the UAW union and Fiat-Chrysler. It reduces the gap between entry level workers and other workers, a gap which widened during the recession following the 2009 financial crisis.

Alexis Tsipras of the Syriza Party in the Greece parliamentary election of September 2015
09/18/2015
As Greece goes to the polls his popularity is not what it had been in January when Syriza Party won 36% of the vote. It is not even the popularity he had in July after accepting the terms of the third EU bailout. Polls show him running even with the leader of the New Democracy Party, Mr. Merimarakis. Merimarakis came out strongly in the presidential debate, even swearing at times, and saying Greece was paying too high a price in the education of Tsipras. Tsipras says he underestimated the creditor's resolve and has learned from his mistakes. The difference in this election from the election in January 2015 is that the political leaders see that there are no simple solutions and Greece will have to work its way out of the debt crisis in several stages. Tsipras says he has made a difference for the unemployed by providing emergency benefits.

The caution in raising rates of the U.S. Federal Reserve in 2015 and memories of the emerging market crisis in 1997
09/17/2015
In 1997 Federal Reserve rate increases worsened the situation in the fragile Mexican economy, with Mexico needing a large bank bailout. Contagion to other countries was also a large problem at the time. Harvard economists Kenneth Rogoff and Larry Summers, cite the situation facing emerging markets with the sharp fall in commodity prices and the decline in the value of the currencies, particularly Brazil, Indonesia and Russia, countries dependent on commodity exports, creating risks in the global economy that the Fed could not ignore. The debt crisis in China and slowing economy, with missteps by the government in handling the stock market decline, happened in August-September 2015, creating added uncertainty- making Sept 15, 2015, too soon for the Fed to risk even a modest 0.25% increase in rates.

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.
