A realization that the idea of America transitioning to a services based economy without impairing jobs was fundamentally wrong
04/17/2006
The need for a strong and growing manufacturing base in the U.S. is one key realization for business leaders from the heads of Boeing, Intel and GE, and other business leaders to leaders in government. Failure to do this simply breeds a sense of pessimism about the future and creates an economy that leaves many productive people jobless, creates unsustainable trade deficits and foreign borrowing. Jeffrey Immelt says this in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post on the day he is appointed to head the President's Council on Jobs.

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.
