China realizes that fossil fuels are a technology that has seen it’s time and yet the U.S. Congress keeps focusing on fixing highways rather than fixing climate change. The U.S. still thinks that the market will fix all our problems so green companies and alternative fuels will establish themselves if there are demands for it […]
Global Principles for a Healthy World The chip stack leader in a poker game can afford to throw their weight around. They can play average hands and force others with average hands to retreat and they can challenge good hands and force others with good hands to fold as they play to the fear that […]
This blog is supposedly concerned with fairness and helping others. Is this just about our (my) need to make ourselves feel better about whom we think we are? When it comes right down to it, aren’t we are all just looking out for number one, especially in relation to money? When investment advisors interview some […]
It’s in your food supply. It affects your health. The Fed Chairman does it. Robin Hood did it. Dying people must deal with it. The 1% get their share but so do single Moms. You can find it in merit scholarships. It was behind the Cold War. It pits the old against the young and […]

Everyone wants to know whether consumers will have the confidence to keep buying anything and everything they can find. One day it seems we will keep buying and buying […]

In Egypt, for example, political change has caused an old regime to be ousted while the new government is just trying to form and develop.
