State foreclosure mediation programs in the U.S. for mortgage workouts in 2010-2011
06/16/2010
Loan modification is being achieved in states that mandate foreclosure mediation with a 3rd party mediator. States doing this successfully include New York and Connecticut. Spain has mitigated the impact of its housing crisis through extensive system of mortgage workouts that are benefiting both the banks, the homeowners, and the economy. In the US the banking industry has failed to take the lead in this area and the US government has failed to take effective action. Roubini predicts large housing losses in the US in 2011.

New York Times 06/15/10
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.
