The minimum wage as political strategy- Democrats and state ballot measures in the U.S. for 2014-2015
04/15/2013
A push at the federal level for the minimum wage by the Obama administration in the U.S. and a push for state ballot measures by Democrats is the political strategy of Democrats in 2014. The idea is to make this a wedge issue with Republicans and tap into growing populism with the increasing gap in incomes.

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.
