Without the tax breaks from GE Capital- which come from using lower tax jurisdiction countries and overseas business- GE's tax rate will now be the rate for other industrial business companies in the U.S. On the day the decision was announced for exiting the banking business GE shares were up 11%, showing that shareholders value the stability of the industrial businesses and the quality of management above the uncertainty generated by volatile earnings from GE Capital. GE shares once considered safe- before the use of GE Capital to generate higher returns- declined to $6 during the financial crisis of 2008, requiring government rescue of GE Capital.

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.
