Biden and his "Biggest bill on Climate Ever, Ever, Ever"
09/03/2022
The $369 billion Biden Bill on Climate is the biggest bill ever. It was put through with Biden's fellow senators and his long experience in the Senate of the US through the efforts of Senator Coon and Hickenlooper who took a new approach to negotiating with Senator Manchin appealing to his place in history and in the party. Biden said while signing the bill "Joe I never doubted for a moment." Senator Schumer of New York did the negotiations and persevered till the end when Manchin was on board. Adjustments were made to allow increase in drilling to bring down oil prices to create a win-win for all so that it could be called The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 as pharmaceutical prices would also come down with the government retaking the right to negotiate pharmaceutical prices lost under Republicans. It is also a Win for Europe, India, and the World.

How women can navigate the waters to find a family friendly workplace and get men to share in household chores. This is important for women's Mental Health.
09/24/2021
During the pandemic women increasingly stayed at home while men continued to work. Figures from Bureau of Labor Statistics show women ended up with doing even more household chores than men in 2020 compared to 2019. As a result women during the coronavirus feel worn out or burned out in addition to losing income. WSJ offers ways women can tackle this problem both by getting men to share in household chores, and finding employers who are family friendly as the coronavirus pandemic declines in 2022.

Nature walks, nature settings, as an essential way to boost mental health and wellbeing during the pandemic
10/09/2021
It is proven that just two hours a week of walks in nature setting in parks, natural settings, green areas, or forested areas, can be hugely beneficial for health and wellbeing during the pandemic. Long and recurrent lockdowns or partial lockdowns, closure of schools, loss of work and income, have had devastating effects on mental health in many countries. Much needs to be done to promote nature walks and bringing nature as a healing mechanism to take some of the burden off the overburdened health services of many countries. Awareness of this in the UK and funds + projects to do this can be a model for other countries.

Pope Francis and the call "not to return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the pandemic."
11/27/2020
Two crises back to back in 2010 and 2020 which set back the working class, the middle class and the poor, and the neglect of capital allocation to healthcare, education, infrastructure. Pope Francis calls for a culture that feels others pain, that "gives access to all to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging, and labor." See "Misallocation of Capital" in Top Stories for more coverage.

Who is Dr. Harlem Brundtland? Compared to her does the WHO today flunk, and even Dr Fauci, Dr Redfield fall short
05/20/2020
Dr. Harlem Brundtland was head of the WHo during the SARS crisis which originated in China in 2003. Her swift action included questioning China's suppression of the openness of its scientific and medical community at the time, alerting the world to take action to control the epidemic. The U.S. clearly brings up Dr. Brundtland as the model that was not followed in its letter to the WHO of May 18, 2020. Dr. Redfield, head U.S. CDC was alerted by Dr. Gao Fu head of China's CDC and its medical scientific community on Dec. 31, 2019, and through Dr. Redfield the American medical scientific community including Dr. Fauci, in an early warning of what was to happen. Dr Brundtland is a three time prime minister of Norway starting with the first term in 1981 and ending with the third term in 1996. She was head of the Labor Party and had a distinguished record including her work in climate change, sustainable development and other issues. The WHO earned much respect under her leadership of the organization.

Sri Lanka, Struggling With Debt, Hands a Major Port to China
The New York Times 12/12/17
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.
