The U.S. Vice Presidential debate between Mike Spence of Indiana and Tim Kaine of Virginia on October 4, 2016
10/05/2016
A focus on Trump's crude language in the campaign against women and minorities, opposing minimum wage and and not paying taxes from Kaine. And a focus on deflecting this by Spence by not responding to these questions, and sticking with traditional Republican positions on immigration, abortion and the war in Syria, deals with Iran.

Is the Olympic model broken- is there a better way?
08/24/2016
Montreal Olympics took a long time to pay off- developed countries have problems too. Athens is an example of a country that suffered badly just following the Olympics, with poor management of public finances, and Greece is a mid tier European economy. It is not about discriminating against developing countries, because developing countries can if they look to show off match their public transportation systems with brand new subways and bullet trains to match those in China, which would get approval from the broad public. For example it would make no sense for India to build $12 billion of Olympic stadiums and related infrastructure, when it could first match China's transportation infrastructure, road building and subway/bullet train building, as well as invest in athletic facilities for every high school in the country. The politicians are sure to be reelected that way, the country get pride in its transportation system, and instead of 4 medals in all India could match Britain and the U.S. in having invested in the same way in sports programs in its high schools and colleges. What is better than that?

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.
