“Every day I get to 'Think' and work on everything from digitizing electric grids so they can accommodate renewable energy and enable mass adoption of electric cars, helping major cities reduce congestion and pollution, to developing new micro-finance programs that help tiny businesses get started in markets such as Brazil, India, Africa.” ThinkingHelpingEnergyCitiesCarMajorsMassProgramIndiaTinyFinanceDevelopingPollutionElectricAdoptionBrazilAccommodateRenewable EnergyGridsCongestionElectric Car Author:Ginni Rometty
“I have no problem with a war for oil-if we accompany it with a real program for energy conservation. But when we tell the world we couldn't care less about climate change, that we feel entitled to drive whatever big cars we feel like, that we feel entitled to consume however much oil we like, the message we send is that a war for oil in the gulf is not a war to protect the world's right to economic survival-but our right to indulge. Now that will be seen as immoral.” IfsWorldFeelsWarRealProblemBigsCareEnergyEconomicCarProtectMessagesSurvivalProgramClimateClimate ChangeOilAlternativesEntitledConservationImmoralNo ProblemIndulgeAccompanyEnergy ConservationBig Cars Author:Thomas Friedman
“Therefore, when I look for a church, I look for the music that best fits me and the programs that best cater to me and my family. When I make plans for my life and career, it is about what works best for me and my family. When I consider the house I will live in, the car I will drive, the clothes I will wear, the way I will live, I will choose according to what is best for me.

“If we wanted a program to help the majority of the population, we'd offer loan guarantees to help poor people get access to reliable cars so that they could have a better shot at getting - and keeping - a well-paying job...A small amount of capital could make a much bigger difference in their lives than extra student loan relief for middle-class college kids would.” PeopleIfsWellsHelpingRealityKidsWantedJobsPoliticsCommunityDifferencesWorkPoorMoneyEducationClassPovertyMiddleCarPolicyStudentsCollegeAmountOffersShotsProgramBiggerMajorityStrategyPropertyPopulationAccessExtrasGuaranteesReliefMiddle ClassPoor PeopleLoanSmall AmountsHelp The PoorStudent LoanHelp Poor People Author:Megan McArdle

“Most Americans living below the official poverty line own a car or truck - and government entitlement programs seldom provide cars and trucks. Most people living below the official poverty line also have air conditioning, color television, and a microwave oven - and these too are not usually handed out by government entitlement programs. Cell phones and other electronic devices are by no means unheard of in low-income neighborhoods, where children would supposedly go hungry if there were no school-lunch programs. In reality, low-income people are overweight more often than other Americans.” PeopleIfsMeanChildrenRealityGovernmentSchoolLinesPovertyAirConditionsCarTelevisionColorLowsProgramPhonesHungryIncomeCellsOfficialsNeighborhoodDevicesLunchTruckEntitlementCell PhoneOverweightOvensUnheardLow IncomeMicrowavesEntitlement ProgramsSchool LunchElectronic DevicesColor Television Author:Thomas Sowell

“In India, crossbreeding programs aimed at mimicking the milk yields of Western cows like the Jerseys and the Holsteins actually breed out the capacity of our animals to pull ploughs and pulley-cars.

“For me, promotional thing about some new album coming out destroys a lot of the excitement of making records. Records, movies, books - they're not supposed to be like math books. The purpose of them is to kind of take us out of ourselves and give us some sort of alternate experience or respite. To try to maximize the relationship of listening to a record through promotion is like experiencing driving a car by reading about stimulus programs. It kind of defeats the purpose.” GivingTryingKindBookPurposeReadingCarListeningProgramDefeatMathDrivingExcitementPromotion Author:Will Oldham
“Until I reached my late teens, there was not enough money for luxuries - a holiday, a car, or a computer. I learned how to program a computer, in fact, by reading a book.
