National Public Radio's (NPR) interview with U.S. president Obama in Dec. 2015 on his views on the white working class, Trump, and the war in Syria and Iraq
12/21/2015
U.S. president Obama says again that his approach in Syria and Iraq is working, without mentioning the millions of refugees and the refugee crisis in Europe, in an interview with National Public Radio. He says that Trump is exploiting working class white discontent about poor economic prospects, without mentioning the slipping economic condition of large parts of what was the middle class revealed in figures on median income and net assets, including by Janet Yellen at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston conference on inequality in October 2014. At that conference one of the alarming figures cited was that the average net worth of the lower half of Americans representing 62 million households was $11,000 in 2013.

Spain's Dec. 2015 general election
12/21/2015
Spain's Dec. 2015 general election led to Spain's ruling Partido Popular Party losing its absolute majority in parliament. The centre right parties won 163 seats- Partido Popular winning 123 seats and Ciudadanos Party winning 40 seats. The centre left parties won 159 seats- the Socialist Party led by Pedro Sanchez winning 90 seats, and Podemos led by Iglesias winning 69 seats. The result is inconclusive with both Sanchez and the prime minister Rajoy hoping to form a new coalition government. High unempoyment of about 20%, even though the economy is recovering and growing at 3%, hurt the ruling conservative Partido Popular party. Both Podemos and Ciudadanos are new parties in response to austerity policies and corruption.

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.
