Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Treaty (TTIP) unpopular in Germany
04/24/2016
As U.S. president Obama pushed for the treaty during his visit to the Hannover Fair, German newspapers say the treaty is even more unpopular now than when polls showed that about half of Germans opposed the treaty. Protesters in Hannover say they oppose the treaty because it benefits big business at the expense of working people. Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz oppose the trade treaties. Experts say most of the benefits from trade have already been gained, and the priorities have shifted to infrastructure, wages and the working class in the U.S. and in Europe, as some sections of society have lagged behind.

The Koch brothers and the candidates Trump, Cruz, Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign- Trump's comments described as "monstrous" and Hillary a better candidate
04/24/2016

Bush in controlling the federal budget, and adds that Hillary Clinton would make a better president than either Trump or Cruz.

Questions about the narrative about Hillary Clinton's honesty- not a natural politician like Bill Clinton, some gaffes, but no less honest than Bill
04/23/2016
The gaffes Benghazi, using a personal email server as Secretary of State, being labeled by Sanders as a shifty "progressive," speeches at Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs. Benghazi and Libya described by Obama as his biggest mistake, Clinton struggling to push back with Panetta, and Gen. Keane and Jones against Obama's policy error. The personal email server an error that did not compromise national security. An old progressive in the style of Bill Clinton, but focussed on getting things done and reaching accomodation to do this. Wall Street connections now rightly seen as letting lobbyists influence policy, yet unlikely to influence policy just as Heidi Cruz's work as a director of Goldman is less likely to influence Ted Cruz's policies. The campaign financing are part of politics that determines U.S. elections, and the U.S. campaign financing needs to learn from the British system that extends from the parliamentary elections to the referendum on membership in the European Union. The gap with young women voters more a result of young women having less experience with the discrimination issues of an older generation of women, according to Pew Trust surveys.

04/22/2016
Trump continues to talk about "a rigged system" says RNC chairman Preibus to win voter support and complete his narrative that a lot of the system is rigged. This even though says Priebus, Trump won 90% of the delegates in New York with about 60% of the vote, and other experts point to a different outcome in other early primaries without many candidates splitting the Republican vote.

Jason Zweig on why limits to pay and bonuses in banking that create incentives for risk taking have not worked
04/22/2016
This piece by Zweig in January 2009 during the depths of the 2008 global financial crisis shows why the limits to executive pay of $500,000 for firms getting financial aid are too limited in scope to work. For one thing this applies only to senior executives. As soon as the money is paid back to the government the banks are able to go back to the old ways. Executive compensation has not changed significantly in 2014 from 2006 during the days before the 2008 financial crisis.

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.
