According to this excellent article from the Chicago Tribune, Hillary Clinton ‘s explanation of what caused the 2008 financial crisis contains a notable omission.

This article is well worth a read. Also I was impressed with Hilary Clinton’s own op-ed article in the Chicago Tribune but felt that she was too light on detail.

This leads to an important open question:

Is Hilary Clinton too close to the ‘big banking’ lobby?

Thoughts?

What happens in India is an affront, in that some people have billions whilst others starve or have too little to eat and the Indian Government makes very little attempt to address the problem in a meaningful way despite Modi strutting about on the world stage.

There is a growing problem in the world with income inequality in its own right and this will worsen with automation, AI, nanotechnology, robotics and self replicating machines.

This will start in 2019, when AI overtakes human intelligence and we move into the age of cybernetics and implanted expert systems, modelled on the “Matrix style jump programme” featured in the original film and Matrix Revolutions.

Governments the world over need to be planning for this eventuality now for woman and, of course, for blue-collar males who as yet lack the skills to become self-sufficient owners of micro businesses.
