Skip the first 50 seconds or so and go straight for content which is excellent.

Unfortunately, big business continues to prove its inability to regulate itself, tobacco is, in my humble opinion, not the exception.

Walmart-pet food (safe pet food for my pet)

Mattel-Barbie (safe toys for my little ones)

Citibank-'Live rich', marketing promise (read 'safe' but miserable returns)

I know many good people associated with these companies, it is not a people problem..

So what's the strategy:-)?

Wheres a TC course on libertarian economics and libertarian investing?

[ayobpala]

TTC, I thought what a great courses, best professor of the world, it truly revolutionary, But then one Realize it does nothing special, except serves the establishment in a more organized way.Most of their courses on philosophy, religion,sociology not worth a dime. They call TTC life time learning, well honestly, they should call it, Life Time Loading and Burden. So they don't teach what is relevant, rather they load you with what they have been loaded with! and that is not learning.
