I always leave our shows wishing they were longer.
Today we talked about Debt Free Higher Education. and the Pay it Forward Plan. With this plan, 1.5% of income for community college, and 3% for universities for 20 years will "pay forward" the cost of instruction for the next generation of students. DEBT FREE DEGREE!
Brilliant right? Well, we will be joining a large wave of other countries like:
Algeria, Argentina, Bhutan, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, India, Malta, Mauritius, Morocco, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Barbados, Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Australia, Sweden, Denmark (students also get paid to study...! ), Brazil (at all levels, including post-doctorate and PhDs), etc..
There will be a pilot program to test this, but after this free / abundant education gets rolling, we will still have work to do on free / abundant shelter, food, water; communication, energy; healthcare, and freedom.
We also played a Ted Talk by Simon Sinek about "How Great Leaders Inspire Action". This is in my top 5 TED talks, and will probably stick with you for life... always know, and be able to explain "Why" you do things.
Songs Played:
Sun is Shining - Bob Marley
None of us are Free - Solomon Burke & Blind Boys of Alabama
