IRP Webcast on Economy | Jeffrey Sachs 

It is up to us to make him known beyond his reputation in economic circles.

@@Linda-zb6zq Fully agreed. Let's help to raise his profile by sharing as mainstream media hardly give him a voice.

So all of us watching needs to share in as many ways as possible. I live in a very red rural community so I was thinking of hitting some of the major points in a letter to the editor in local newspaper. Plus sending it to other papers in the area. This includes a community that is a company town which developed around a major chemical company. Any other ideas, I love love to hear and open to cooperation in getting these ideas out.

@@Linda-zb6zq Let's do our best for the good of all!

That is an excellent idea...but we do NOT live in a rational country

Wonderful idea! Before 9/11, they more closely resembled that because Germans and others would visit and purchase products at U.S. bases in Germany, for example. We need much more international collaboration. However, it is an obstacle for Americans to even employ other Americans who lived abroad for many years.

You hope so.

They are approved with the idea of cooperation on security and generally lead to more security that countries think outweigh the benefits (and might if you aren’t living in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Mali, Iraq etc.) The problem is that the “cooperation” is very lopsided with most people seeing no benefit (local military leaders might not be the best advocate for what’s best for people who would have guessed 😒) and if the relationship turns ugly like in Iraq you are left with huge hole in your wallet with no recourse.

Will the weapon manufacturers and contractors allow that?

Jay, you seem to have been absent when the world has learned that we have a distribution problem, not a population problem. Perhaps your understandings should join the rest of us in the 21st century. The latest thing is that women, on a worldwide scale, are more concerned with pursuing their careers, not having children.

With both overall human fertility levels and reproduction rates across the globe turning negative, I think the corporate controlled UN Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030 are well on track. I don't think it is human over-population that you should be worrying about but under-population.

I think it's much more the way our populations are being managed or really unmanaged in regards to urban, rural housing planning, not reducing the need for two cars per family or even a car at all by better public transportation which many other countries already have and maintain. Solar, wind, geothermal power sources built into homes, multifamily buildings and buildings certified energy smart, houses/public and private buildings which I think are just as renewable as solar or whatever because the amount of energy used is so low it equals or beats renewables/fossil fuel dual capable. Scrapping current regulation, legislative institutions (including the people in place or charge) they are absolutely corrupted beyond reform or any more opportunities to cheat, Rob, hurt people.

Its so stupid actually a waste of resources.
