Detroit's crisis- One in four households without a car in Detroit in a city with no rail system
03/19/2014
In 2007-2012 the number of households without a car in Detroit increased by 5% to 26.2%, the fastest of an city in the U.S. Many people endure long commutes and long bus waits at stops in sub zero temperatures in 2014, as a city goes through bankruptcy lacking funds to fix the broken bus system. Major cities such as New York, Boston, and the D.C. area have rail systems, for years Detroit failed to put in place a rail system. The financial crisis of 2008 left many without the incomes to support keeping a car with high insurance rates.

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.
