Five Conspirators in the Eradication of the Middle Class 05/04/2020

"Researchers at Princeton and Northwestern University wanted to find out how much political power ordinary citizens have, they examined a twenty year period from 1982 - 2002. They first discovered if large corporations and wealthy individuals (regardless of political party) want a law passed there is nearly a 60% chance it will be passed and if they don't want a certain law it doesn't pass.

Then they looked at everyday voters issues (that almost no one supports) have a 30% chance of becoming law. Issues that almost everyone supports also have a 30% chance of becoming law. They concluded in their on words, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule near zero statistically non significant impact upon public policy."

We need a new era of data responsibility 28/01/2018

"20% of the world’s data is searchable – which means 80% of the data out there is sitting on private servers"

We need a new era of data responsibility The rise of the AI economy will make it more urgent to handle data responsibly, writes Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM.

Our Story

The sites and publications from which this content is shared are owned, founded and operated by the leaders of the world markets. If you are one who believes a percentage of a community are the captains and leaders of industry (globe) why not study (research) that community. If you are not trading in some aspect just remember you are being traded (on paper). As you age those who are trading you declare you obsolete (no longer produced or used; out of date) at some point.

The "trader" never declares himself "out of date." The "portfolio menu" is a reflection of the global "stage"... the people, the land (natural resources) and "the bottom line" all of which is represented on "paper". This display of course is a relic fit for a financial museum. Today the information game remains the same although the data survives on servers accessible via digital devices in its various formats (spreadsheets, portable document format, emails, etc.) If your only interaction with information and technology consist of pictures, short hand text and consuming (as oppose to monetize distribution of) entertaining videos of any length, you are utilizing the 5% of this revolution considered as the "Show". Organization of ones' digital data is the other 95%, the "Business".

Data properly arranged and accessible via mobile device, deed, title, stocks, bonds, accounts, insurance, receipts; if its of any importance, value or exchangeable how quickly can you access this digital data anywhere in the world. Just as important, how aware are you of the fluctuating value of these instruments. The empire once built of paper is currently under-reconstruction and digitally rising through the clouds (on a network server in a building of course) which takes on many shapes and forms. The challenge of participating in the current shifting market is understanding how to use the current technology (highly technical computers) for the business of oneself and the positive, collective growth and order of a new world.

What data has value? When are the ebbs and flows of data a value? How does one organize and track this data? The modern day game of life. This is modern "business". Each time an item, any item (especially intellectual property) is exchanged a tally (a record of a score or amount) is kept; name, location, date, time, intrinsic value (a receipt). Bottom lines are the result of tallies taken over the course of three and twelve month intervals.
