We know that the rich is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer. We also know the world is unfair as far as wealth distribution is concerned. What we don’t know is how serious the problem has gotten year after year. At the start of 2015, Oxfam had warned that 1% of the world’s […]
... written on Jan 23 2018What would happen if France holds a similar referendum like the Britain two years ago which caused the Brexit? The French, like fellow Britons, would “probably” vote to leave the European Union. That’s the bombshell coming out from the horse’s mouth – French President Emmanuel Macron during an interview. Ever since United Kingdom delivered […]
... written on Jan 22 2018Donald Trump marked the first anniversary of his inauguration with his government in shutdown mode. Essentially at midnight Friday, the U.S. federal government is partially shutdown after the Senate failed to reach a solution – the first government shutdown since 2013.

... written on Jan 21 2018Apple’s CEO Tim Cook doesn’t like Donald Trump. It’s not hard to understand why Mr. Cook (a liberalist) and Mr. Trump (a nationalist) don’t see eye to eye – until now.

... written on Jan 15 2018President Trump actually thinks it was his tough policy that had forced North Korea to finally talk to South Korea. Although the North just wanted to talk about the Winter Olympic 2018 with the South and nothing else, including its nuclear programme, Trump praised himself and took the credit anyway.

... written on Jan 11 2018Another engineering marvel has been completed and the trophy goes to China, again. Billed as the world’s longest sea bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China, supporters have been calling it an engineering wonder. Critics, on the other hand, call the infrastructure mega-project politically driven and a costly white elephant. The project was […]
... written on Jan 08 2018When a few hundred people gathered in Mashhad, Iran’s second largest and holiest city, very few thought that the Dec. 28th protest could result in a domino effect.
