Most crimes are about money, one of the 7 Belief systems. Money is also in the Power dimension of Love, Knowledge & Power, being the three dimensions that govern (human) Life. I understand crimes involving money (eg, theft). Common reasons are hunger, inequality, poverty. In Kenya, all whites are considered rich, regardless of their wealth. It’s rather...
Equality vs inequality

The American ‘Affordability Crisis’
Intro LO: I’ve decided using the Wall Street Journal article (below) because this type of crisis is unknown in Europe. Probably because Europe favours fair inequality while America favours unfair inequality (eg, my 2018 blog, a 2017 Yale study).

The American healthcare conundrum
Intro LO: A recent Axios article on the U.S. rank in global healthy life expectancy caught my attention. The American healthcare system is a conundrum as it’s the best and the most expensive, while American life expectancy is only declining. The recent killing of an American healthcare CEO shows another, dark, industry feature because it’s “excellent” in denying...
