Closing the gaps in the ideological debates in 2016 to tackle poverty in America, after the emergence of Donald Trump
02/02/2016
Eduardo Porter of the NYT reports on how experts on the left and right of the political spectrum are coming together in 2016 to tackle poverty in America. The emergence of billionaire Trump appealing to older non college educated workers and the people marginalized by globalized trade without providing any program specifics and lowering the political discourse to labels, exaggeration and misstatements, has acted as a catalyst for lowering the ideological barriers to action for experts on both sides.

Puerto Rico's Prepa and free electricity given to 78 municipalities and the port authority- the practice dates back to 1941 by FDR appointed governor Rexford Tugwell
02/01/2016
Tugwell pulled together private electricity companies into a public company Prepa, which would not pay property taxes and instead provide free electricity to municipalities in lieu of property taxes. In 2016 the free electricity is estimated to increase government debt by $9 billion of $72 billion in total debt Puerto Rico cannot pay. The free electricity has led to such wasteful projects as an ice skating rink in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

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.
