Rotten...
Fox News Channel said Monday that co-president Bill Shine is out, the latest high-level departure at a network beset with charges of harassment and discrimination that have already claimed founding CEO Roger Ailes, leading personality Bill O'Reilly and a top financial executive.
Shine was not accused of any direct wrongdoing. But the longtime Ailes lieutenant was considered vulnerable because of claims that he looked the other way as charges of toxic workplace behavior piled up, with some believing that the network would never truly be able to move on without him and other Ailes loyalists.
Is this rotten to the bottom? Just a thought.
Work...
Globalization may have benefited some countries and some people. But it also hurt others and redistributed the welfare unevenly. The outcome became in-welcomed around the globe.
Happy Labor day.
Traffick...
It cannot be denied that there are sex workers who get physically abused or become victims of violence from their pimps and even clients. Some even were killed in the process. he scams associated with sex is huge as well. They can't report to the authorities when they get hurt.
Legalizing can allow the state to impose the use of protection when engaging in commercial sex and for the workers to get regularly tested.
Brothels, workers and other related business will be obliged to pay taxes and are protected against illegal activities.
Human trafficking, especially of children, is rampant in some parts of the world and even within a country itself. Sexual predators are alarming, more women are coerced to be sex workers.
Keep this industry illegal is the wrong thing to have. Just a thought.

Tourism...*
After the collapse of world economies in 2008, the US Federal Reserve started printing money, buying US Treasuries and Bonds. This was called Quantitative Easing or "QE"
It helped the US economy, employment, Wall Street, Housing, and Auto Industries drastically.
Printing money is a common practice in the World Economics, China, Europe, etc., based on certain economic principles.
Japan was the latest to print money and buy bonds, lots of it. The Dollar equaled 80 Yen, now 102 Yen in just 2 months. Yet this low value of the Yen will help Japanese exports, spurs economic activities, and quickly. Ironic huhh!!
In Egypt, the Dollar equaled 0.3 Egyptian LB at one point. Then became equals to 3 E. LB, and currently one Dollar equals 6 Egyptian Pounds.
By comparison, with currency's easing, one expect that Egypt would have a boom in economics, low unemployment and very comfortable living in the land of the Pharos. Sadly that is not the case.
There is much more to economics than just printing. Adam Smith principles of 1776, and Human Rights of 4000 years B.C. may give the boost needed..... Tourism. Just a thought.
