Developed nations face a major demographic problem – Lots of old people on pensions but few young people paying for pensions. The result is huge hole in the funds to pay for pensions.
So what do governments do? They have to force us to work later into life. 10 years extra here in the uk.
This keep working ‘to avoid dementia’ article is the first that I’ve noticed that try’s to put a good spin on working till we drop.
Expect more!
Keep every promise you make and only make promises you know you can keep.
I disagree with Roger McElroy’s petition. He thinks all money should be electric so that all money is traceable and therefore taxable.
Yes you make a few good points about the black economy Roger but often the anonymity provided by paper cash is needed by normal law abiding tax payers.
We must demand our governments continue to mint cash to protect anonymity.
If all money is traceable by the government, then it’s traceable by criminals, employers and your mother in law.
Now this is a change that has been brewing since Vint Cerf first started playing with data packets. Free access to scientific papers online! MIT’s “the tech” paper says that the “Faculty voted unanimously” to bring open access to the world of cutting edge scientific research.
As this trend continues and more institutions free up their information, we’ll see a massive reduction in the time it takes scientific development to reach the market.
Keep an eye on DSpace for MIT’s developments.
Companies want to sell right? After all, that’s how to make a profit. In this article, Bill Thompson makes it easy to understand the stupidity of media executives.
Hello Team Obama!
Please fix the whitehouse.gov RSS feed.
It keeps sending out repeat updates. This is wasting time.
For example: I received the “Liveblog: The President in Canada” update no less than 13 times. It’s not just that article either; all of your posts get repeated at least twice.
If you want people to be engaged with your processes, don’t waste their time.
This is a technical problem which the whitehouse.gov website coding team need to fix.
You can find this email published at matredman.co.uk and I’ll be publishing your reply.
Thanks from Mat
Google’s famous slogan – “Don’t Be Evil” – has once again been shown to be nothing but marketing fluff.
Another insightful article from Bill discussing issues that effect us all. If your not a UK citizen, the way your government handles the same issues will effect you so yes it does effect us all.
