Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Big Banks pay billions in fines from guilt over market manipulation. Citigroup, Barclays, JPMorgan, and the Royal Bank of Scotland have been fined over their unethical practices of currency trading. Previous to this, most banks had been “too big to prosecute”, so crimes were usually dealt with through a hand-slapping policy. One of the things […]
A group of MIT engineers have designed a way to desalinize water using solar energy. The premise was to help out rural and low-income villages overseas gain access to safe drinking water. The project has been a success and they have been able to create about 2,100 gallons of drinking water in a day. The […]
A 19-year-old college student just called out Jeb Bush. She told him that George W. Bush was the person responsible for creating ISIS. The heated exchange was in a town hall meeting in Reno, Nevada. During the meeting, Jeb said that the Obama administration was to blame for the rise of ISIS because of its […]
Mexican officials came to a rural area in Mexico last Friday to announce over loudspeakers that they had vaccines available to its citizens. Since this is an area that doesn’t have much access to medical care in the event of illness, many people jumped at the chance to have their children vaccinated for rotovirus, Hepatitis […]
Amaris is a middle schooler who has dealt with incredible restraint her whole life. She had Tourette’s Syndrome (or TS) and spent most of her life hiding her tics and muscle spasms from everyone the best she could. She developed techniques to help her suppress them, but at some point she had to relent to […]
We have been moving away from the real substance of life for a long time. Times of seeking out the wisdom of our elders, sages, or seers used to be a very prominent way of life. Now, if you seek out wisdom about the meaning of life, what our purpose is, or what the point […]
The state’s attorney, Marilyn Mosby, announced Friday that six officers have been charged with the death of Freddie Gray. There was significant probable cause that the actions of these officers is considered homicide. Mosby also indicated that the arrest of Freddie Gray was illegal based upon the officers having no probable cause to arrest him […]
Bravo! The “You Are Beautiful” campaign is just what women and young girls these days really need to see – women, as they are, no photoshopping, just in their own skin…and owning it proudly. I know I don’t even need to address how frustrating it is to feel confident in a body our photoshopping society […]
A few years back, I remember there being talks about using water as a fuel by destabilizing the hydrogen particle in the H2O. Up until this point, we haven’t seen a vehicle that runs on water. Audi has just experienced a breakthrough in science. They have confirmed that they have created a green technology to […]
It’s unfortunate that anytime I am looking into a veterans benefit, like VA loans for example, I get the same line of questioning. “What branch of service was your husband in?” My reply, “He is not a veteran, I am. I was in the Navy.” Always gets wide eyes and shock. Why I always get […]
Reducing our carbon footprint is not only trendy, it’s mandatory. With only two degrees separating us from catastrophe (theoretically), we should be doing all we can to lower carbon emissions so we don’t negatively impact our environment. What better way to do that than to modify how we build our homes by using a little […]
I’m sure most of us are affected in some way by the events that transpired in Sandy Hook a couple years ago. It was heart-wrenching. Whether you believe it happened or not, it affected gun laws and our view of the safety of our children when we send them off to school. It successfully created […]
The Freedom of Information Act was put to use to uncover the documents that refer to the protestors in Ferguson as “enemy forces” and “adversaries”. The highly militarized description of U.S. citizens have created an even deeper rift between the common man/woman and the law. The law enforcement agencies and the National Guard tried to […]
Senators, Congress, Republicans, or Democrats… who are they representing? Their districts? Their States? Their political affiliation? Most government officials are not middle class and free of corruption like most of us taxpayers. I thought in order to be taxed, we needed to be represented in our government. We haven’t been for a long time. Most […]
This is truly troubling. I live in the state of New York and I hear stories from mommy groups I’ve been a part of that had direct experience with CPS on some level. It seems when you need CPS to do their job, they don’t because there’s bureaucracy and red tape to circumnavigate, so there […]
