Daniel Currie, VP of Editorial Content, gave a presentation on the problems of big government. He outlined five key problems: 1) more government intervention leads to more spending and higher inflation; 2) unintended consequences follow further intervention attempts to control the economy; 3) the huge US debt of over $16 trillion presents problems if other nations lose faith in the debt; 4) government causes business cycles by interfering with interest rates and money supply; 5) big government enables "collective corruption" where the wealthy benefit most from policies while inflation reduces benefits for the poor. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
Todd Swanstrom argues that where poor people live strongly influences their income and quality of life. Living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty imposes an additional "poverty tax" through lower wages, higher costs, and less opportunities. Three strategies are proposed to reduce poverty without new spending: 1) Inclusionary zoning requiring affordable housing in suburbs to deconcentrate poverty. 2) Right-sizing shrinking cities by demolishing abandoned structures and relocating residents to urban villages with services. 3) Investing in regional public transit systems to connect low-income residents to jobs since they are more dependent on transit.
Giving Montenegro: Philanthropy's Response to COVID-19 (June, 30)Catalyst Balkans
COVID-19 has changed the way our communities work overnight. From the beginning of the crisis until June 30, we analyzed data on 804 philanthropic instances in Montenegro.
This is how citizens, companies, and nonprofits respond in solidarity to the crisis.

How to survive the Global Financial and Ecological CrisesSustento
A presentation on how to survive the current crises of finance and ecosystem. They are both highly correlated with finance providing the basis for ecosystem exploitation. I propose that we move to re-alaign the financial system to provide stable money and appropriately priced ecosystem goods and services. I argue these are both necessary for a sustainable economy.
The document discusses several topics related to government spending and taxation. It argues that the tax code should be neutral and not used to incentivize private capital. It also suggests studying a consumption tax instead of an income tax. To balance the budget, both spending cuts and revenue increases are needed, with most new revenue coming from economic growth rather than tax hikes. Spending cannot be based solely on needs since needs always exceed resources, requiring difficult choices. The government should focus on maintaining order and justice, leaving charity to individuals, though some programs help prevent societal chaos.

The struggle and pain with which the time was been passed and we together moved forward. Little stories around the corner of the world.
The document argues that the current federal budget deficit and debt levels are unfairly blamed on ordinary Americans, who did not cause the issues. It claims the true causes were decades of bad economic policies, including unjustified wars, outsourcing of jobs, tax cuts for the wealthy, financial deregulation, and stagnating middle-class incomes. Resolving the debt crisis requires addressing the underlying economic crisis first through solutions that help, not penalize, average Americans, rather than continuing policies advocated by those responsible for the problems. Fair debt policy should not scapegoat citizens for issues they did not create.
This document summarizes the causes and extent of poverty in Canada. It notes that poverty stems from factors like unemployment, low wages, lack of education, and limited access to resources. According to Statistics Canada, nearly 5 million or 1 in 7 Canadians live below the low-income cutoff. The document discusses how Ontario Works addresses unemployment and poverty in Ontario by providing resources, but these are currently stretched thin. It argues that poverty is often misunderstood and temporary solutions are pursued rather than addressing its underlying causes.
"It is clear that in a crisis, the rules do not apply. This which makes you wonder why they are rules in the first place. This is an unprecedented opportunity to not just hit the pause button and temporarily ease the pain, but to permanently change the rules so that untold millions of people aren’t so vulnerable to begin with".

This document discusses trends that will emerge in 2021 based on cultural changes accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies 8 trends:
1. Realistic optimism - People will remain cautiously optimistic about the future due to continued uncertainty.
2. Soft capitalism - There will be increased debate around reforming capitalism to reduce inequality.
3. Amphibious life - People will seamlessly move between physical and virtual worlds in their work and daily lives.
4. Individual redesign - Younger people will seek to reinvent themselves, and there will be a boom in startups and online education.

Can you imagine what your community would accomplish if everyone who lived there had financial security? Would the citizens of that community have the time as well as the mental and emotional space to be more engaged in their community? An engaged community is a community which solves local issues that adversely affect the citizens of that locality. If all communities had this same level of engagement, could we overcome global issues? Finding a solution to poverty and financial insecurity is key to attaining greater community engagement. Universal Basic Income is a solution to poverty and financial insecurity, and ultimately, greater community engagement.
This document summarizes and analyzes the state of retirement in the United States. It argues that while there is a real retirement crisis due to unsustainable social programs, there is also an overstated "fake" crisis about individuals not saving enough. The real crisis stems from promising more retirement benefits than can be afforded. Possible solutions include cutting benefits, raising taxes, pursuing economic growth, or using inflation to reduce the impact of debt obligations. Inaction will only make reforms more difficult.
The High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda today released “A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development,” a report which sets out a universal agenda to eradicate extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030, and deliver on the promise of sustainable development. The report calls upon the world to rally around a new Global Partnership that offers hope and a role to every person in the world.
The document discusses ending poverty by 2030 and outlines several key points:
1) More than 700 million people currently live in extreme poverty without access to basic needs like health, education, water, and sanitation.
2) Poverty has many dimensions but is often caused by unemployment, social exclusion, and vulnerability to disasters and disease.
3) Individuals and private sectors can help end poverty through supporting organizations, providing economic opportunities, and focusing on vulnerable populations.

The document discusses how the emerging wellness industry and direct selling/network marketing are combining to create new wealth and millionaires. It notes that the wellness industry, which focuses on preventative health rather than sickness, has grown to a $200 billion business. At the same time, the boom in home-based businesses and availability of powerful yet affordable technology has supported the rise of network marketing/direct selling. The author argues these two trends are a "perfect storm" that provides an unprecedented opportunity to create both a satisfying lifestyle and tremendous wealth over the next decade as 10 million new millionaires are created in the US.
This document provides 20 big ideas for transformations in 2012 to address major issues. It suggests avoiding a prolonged economic slump by fundamentally transforming outdated institutions for financial services, media, energy, transportation and global cooperation. New models are needed that embrace principles of collaboration, openness and sharing. Ideas include embracing radical transparency, ensuring communication rights in the digital age, engaging youth to avoid radicalization, shifting to networked global problem-solving, building democratic governments after Arab uprisings, improving societal information flows, and developing new models for cheaper, better government through open data and social innovation.

This document discusses reasons for slower economic growth in the US as the "new normal" compared to previous decades. It notes factors such as high household, business, and government debt levels; a more competitive global economy; demographic changes like retiring Baby Boomers; stagnant wage growth; cautious corporate behavior focused on financial engineering over hiring and investment; industry consolidation; the impact of technology in eliminating jobs; and income volatility among many workers. The document examines these trends in depth through data and examples to argue the US faces structural economic challenges compared to the post-WWII era.
This document discusses reasons for slower economic growth in the US, referred to as the "new normal". It summarizes views from economists like Mohamed El-Eraian and Ray Dalio that high household, business, and government debt following the 2008 financial crisis has led to balance sheet repair and slower growth. Additional factors cited include an aging population reducing spending, younger Americans delaying life milestones, high corporate taxes and regulations, rising costs of living and education, and increased global economic competition reducing US jobs and wages. The document provides examples of how revenue growth has slowed for large mature companies due to their size and analyzes economic trends among Baby Boomers and Millennials that have contributed to weaker consumer demand.
The document summarizes three major current economic problems in the United States: the national debt, unemployment, and healthcare. It discusses how the national debt grew to $17 trillion due to deficit spending by recent presidential administrations. Unemployment remains high with many Americans unable to find living-wage jobs. Access to affordable, quality healthcare is also a challenge as costs continue rising. Solutions proposed include reducing government spending, raising taxes, and promoting policies to support job growth and medical freedom.

Resume
On June 11-16, several important international events were organized and they are expected
to contribute to Ukraine's resilience and victory: URC2024, the G7 meeting, and the Global
Peace Summit.
According to the IER, real GDP growth slowed slightly to 3.5% yoy in May compared to 4.2%
yoy in April due to significant damage caused by russian attacks on electricity generation.
Restrictions on electricity supply to industry and the population continue: efficient consumption
and the installation of decentralized power generation capacities are a priority.
The Ukrainian Sea Corridor allows an increase in the exports of ores and metallurgical products.
Foreign aid was the lowest in May. However, already in June Ukraine should receive about
USD 4 bn in loans.
In May, as in the previous three months, consumer inflation was slightly above 3% (3.3% yoy).
In June, the NBU again reduced the discount rate – from 13.5% to 13% per annum.
The hryvnia exchange rate has surpassed UAH 40 per dollar due to the growing demand for
cash currency.
The IER is preparing the pub
2. Why does is resonate for you
Since the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic the state of the economy has been an
absolute mess. It rare to find someone that wasn’t hurt financially by this crisis
whether it is a millionaire or a minimum wage worker everyone was affected. The
only way that we are going to heal from this massive attack of the global
economy is by porotion sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth.
3. How can your interest be applied locally?
This issue surrounding the Pandemic and its’ effect of the economy can be seen
everywhere. In Tacoma, we have lost many small businesses who struggled even
before the pandemic. The ones especially hurt the most are those who were
deemed as “non-essential workers.” Many of these people were already living off
a barely livable salary and now expected to pay rent with the little savings they
had. Many of these people turned to the unemployment office however, many
were turned away for a minor error in the process. No matter where you look in
the world everyone has been affected including our PNW community.
4. Where can you personally make the greatest
contribution?
The best way I think I can make a meaningful contribution is by voting for
politicians who believe this to be an enormous threat to not just our country but
the world. A politician I grew to adore in the early days of the 2020 presidential
race was Andrew Yang who promoted an economic shift from non-reusable
energy and fossil fuels to data. As well he promoted a universal income that
would be allow people to have a livable income if they made under a certain
amount a year. I believe these are meaningful ways to help solve this issue
surrounding the economy. We all have to vote for those who care about this as
much as we do!
5. Feature of Social Media that can help with this
goal.
A way that social media can help this issue surrounding a post covid economy is
by sharing horror stories. People must understand that not everyone received a
stimulus check, unemployment benefits, or rent assistance. Many people were
mortally hurt by this pandemic if we allow their stories to go untold we will see
no change surrounding livable wages and sustainable economic growth.
