01/06/2009
One analyst calls it a dangerous aneuyrism. The U.S. consumer came out of the 2008 financial crisis with low savings and high debt. The additional consumer spending that is occurring in 2011 is coming from continued spending at high debt levels and is not sustainable according to experts.

The Jobs bank at GM (General Motors) - symbol of poor labor-management competitive practices of GM and the UAW
01/08/2009
A failure of GM and the UAW to come together for the common good. Labor mired in the rhetoric of another era and blind to the dangers of losing competitiveness in a globalized manufacturing era very different from the 1950- 1975 period. Management failing to create a new environment of labor-management cooperation to compete internationally.

The proposed U.S.-Canada partnership for the Keystone XL Pipeline project
01/07/2009
This would bring an additional 1.1 million barrels of Canadian oil to the U.S. from Alberta oil sands. The project is being held up by the Obama administration. The Energy Department gave its approval in February 2011, but it is being held up for further environmental studies. Advances in environmental protection for oil sands development have reduced the footprint of the processes used in production of oil. This would reduce imports from the Middle East and have a favorable impact on oil prices.

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.
