10/12/2016
The Economist magazine has a By invitation Essay by U.S. president Obama in the Oct 8-14th 2016 edition of the magazine. In the essay Obama describes the unfinished agenda of his two terms in office.

The growing inequality, and improving job opportunities are other parts of this unfinished work.

Waning support among evangelicals in the U.S. for Trump in October 2016 in U.S. presidential election
10/12/2016
Chrisitanity Today, an evangelical newspaper is critical and introspective about its previous support for Trump, as support fades among evangelicals by October 2016. It calls real and important neighbors ideas about evangelicals when greed and sexual immorality are condoned, and supporters too self-focussed and not thoughtful enough about their faith in the Lord.

There are a lot of distortions of facts in the debate. A frequent distortion is that Trump opposed the Iraq war before it started. In addition to distortions there is the frequent resort to exaggerations. One has to be very careful to correctly interpret what is being said to not be trapped by soundbites or wild statements.

Long term negative effects of Trump's economic plan for the U.S. in contrast to positive long term effects of the Clinton plan
10/18/2016
With huge borrowing and estimated at $5.3 trillion deficit Trump's economic plan has negative long term effects. It is also vague and absent many necessary details. The Clinton economic plan has positive long term effects, is careful with the deficit, and spells out the specifics. Clinton's economic plan helps to reduce wide wealth disparities pointed out by Fed chairman Janet Yellen, and increases societal integration of less advantaged groups. While the Trump Plan aggravates social tensions by increasing the share of the national income going to the wealthy at a time when unprecedented wealth disparities exist in American society.

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.
