The debt ceiling standoff with a small faction in the Republican party calling for cuts in spending where it is needed for workers and families in America. In the US system even though spending is approved a debt ceiling can be passed that limits overall spending requiring another approval if the ceiling is exceeded for approved spending. In the past this was negotiated. Today this faction in the Republican party is calling for large cuts in the very areas that were neglected in the past and which urgently need funding leading to Biden's response. Infrastructure, renewable energy, education, healthcare, public services, workers and families were neglected and now need strong backing.

Geoffrey Hinton resigns from Google saying: "It is hard to see how bad actors would not misuse AI for bad things." A call for a pause in development of Ai is ignored as profit seeking behaviour and competition leads to an acceleration of AI development without the ground rules being set and the regulatory agencies powered by law, and without the necessary government action. The tendency of business profit seeking behaviour to lobby legislatures that set the rules has led to lack of regulation for pharma, banks and tech, leading to social breakdown in society with higher health costs, lost decades through unemployment and loss of savings for families. AI takes the problem to another dimension with an effort to replace human thinking behind behaviour. With AI laissez faire ceases to exist as a viable option for free people, only with strict regulation can banks, tech and AI operate to perform useful functions in society. For this to happen schools, media have a role to perform well their role to educate people.

By April 2023 with winter over it is clear that Europe has come out of the winter season with its economy intact after shutdown of pipeline gas from the pipelines in Russia. A lot of action was taken in a short time- Germany's Habeck went to Qatar and other countries to secure LNG supplies, a new LNG terminal was built at Wilhelmshaven in record time, Norway and the US pitched in with more supplies, conservation went into high gear, and renewable energy investments were accelerated. There is no recession in the European Union as a result of this effort. And in this sense and with the Ukrainian economy functioning, generators taking Ukraine through a tough winter, EU taking in 80% of Ukraine agricultural exports, and supermarket shelves kept well stocked, refugees settled in Poland and Germany, the war has already been decided. The principle of no impunity for attacks on neighboring countries has been preserved by the EU acting together to protect itself.

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.
