American public opinion on cutting Medicare and Social Security
02/15/2011
There is little support for cutting the two programs polls show. This suggests that politicians who fight for cuts in the popular programs risk being punished in the next elections. Voter awareness about the problems the large budget deficits pose for the U.S. and what action needs to be taken is growing, but only growing slowly.

Apple's pricing strategy for iPads and iPhones
02/14/2011
Apple's pricing strategy for the iPad at $499 helps it maintain a grip on this rapidly growing market, making it difficult for competitors. Either competitors such as Amazon price lower to gain market share and have low margins or barely profitable product as with the Kindle at $199, or price relatively higher and gain only modest market share.

Inflation in Afghanistan
02/15/2011
The worldwide inflation is also affecting Afghanistan. Added to this is the rise in the cost of fuel after fuel supplies from Iran were blocked, and the rise in food prices after the floods in Pakistan. This increases the discontent of the largely poor rural population in Afghanistan.

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.
