The first Republican U.S. presidential debate on August 6, 2017
08/07/2015
Donald Trump has sharp exchanges with the other Republican candidates. He defends donations to Hillary Cinton's foundation. On remarks about Mexicans, he said without him no candidate would have brough up the topic of illegal immigration. Christie and Paul exchange remarks on Paul's position on national security surveillance. Jeb Bush calls Trump's position divisive for the party. Rubio says he understands working class Americans better having parents who lived paycheck to paycheck, and knows something about student loans, refuting charges by Hillary Clinton that Republicans are out of touch with the working class. Trump does not say if he will support the winning candidate to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president.

Similarities Aside, Bernie Sanders Isn’t Rerunning Howard Dean’s 2004 Race
New York Times 08/09/15
The Bernie Sanders U.S. presidential campaign of 2016 and Howard Dean's campaign in 2004- upward mobility for working class Americans the issue in 2016, the Iraq war in 2004
08/09/2015
Howard Dean was governor of Vermont and Sanders was Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Both candidates draw white, educated, affluent voters of the Democratic Party. But the situation is different in 2014, with the Democratic Party now 40% female, and many ethnic minorities represented in the party. Dean's major issue was his opposition to the Iraq war. Sanders says his positions are more class based and calls for a revolution to give working class Americans a chance for upward mobility.

Mexico's slow growth in 2013-2015 under the Enrique Pena administration
08/08/2015
Growth averaged below annual growth of 2% for 2013-2015, way below predictions of 5-6% growth following the opening of the oil industry to foreign investment and other reforms. The popularity rating of the Pena administration has dropped to 34% in August 2015. The peso has dropped in value to about 16 to the dollar from about 13 the prior year. Foreign investment in the oil industry is low with the lower demand for oil in 2015.

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.
