Keywords:
Tags:
Cities like Huntsville, Alabama that have alarge presence of military defense contractors and have NASA presence are doing well in this downturn. So are cities that have industreies or plants not affected as much by the downturn. Cities like McAllen and Brownsville in Texas, Mobile, Alabama, Ogden and Provo, Utah, York, Pennsylvania, Youngstown, Ohio, Yakima, Washington and Lafayette, Louisiana. Consumer loan balances for these cities are shown as increasing in these cities from data developed by Equifax and Moody's Economy.com. Some of this could be from more overborrowing but other information suggests that local economies and employment have held up well in these places. Also problem loans at local banks in places like Huntsville, are a low 2%.

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.
