With longer term project suuporters callling for spending not to be skewed towards building the roads in the far flung areas that only encourage the same kind of long commutes and urban sprawl that created the energy crisis raher than look at alternatives (perhaps like the ones in Sacramento where new kind of layounts with lower commutes and more proximity of housing and jobs is designed), give public transit and other projects equal importance, and finance projects for a greener America. See te link to Jan Corzine on a view from the perspective of the state governors.

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.
