- world (and thereby undermine our democracy). "Last year, more than four hundred billion dollars were spent on philanthropy in the United States. This is nearly going beyond the government budget - excluding the budget for defension. " This is just one of the insights of the former New York Times columnist and writer Anand Giridharadas. He paints a picture of a parallel government: one that is not democratic, but that is run by the super-rich of this world. If rich people and companies avoid paying taxes as much as possible, but depicture the government as bureaucratic and then are taking credit when they open a new university building or hospital because their name is on it - what is left of our democracy? Giridharadas therefore advocates a return to the public interest through renewed cooperation within our democratic institutions. Because, that's how the writer rhetorically summarizes the problem: "Which rich person or company has done more for the elderly in the United States than social security?" "Which rich person or company has done more for health care for the poor than Medicaid?" "Which rich person or company has done more for women than the right to vote?" "Which rich person or company has done more for African Americans than the Votings Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act?" An interview with Anand Giridharadas about the super-rich and how they undermine democracy.

- Comment on: Blog Post 'A story of life with VW'
- anywhere near the pristine condition that we have grown to expect from VW during our 50 years together; the rear fitted roof window coming apart from the hood which itself was in such a bad state of repair it needed a third party [RE]placement fitted at a cost to us of £1500.00; ALL of the window repairs done to the vehicle by VW showing signs of imminent failure; combined with a constant worry of ever being able to start the vehicle, because of various electrical faults which had resulted in the need for two previous emergency call-outs • we had prepared to go out somewhere special and yes we had to make a call for rescue yet again, being unable to start the vehicle on our front drive. Having spent a good time making several attempts to start the vehicle, by Green Flag it was recovered to our local Greenmeadow Motors Garage, who then diagnosed a failure of the electrics yet again and the need for VW specialist attention!!! Having once travelled to Copenhagen in 826EAF and subsequently attended a Race-Day at the Roskilde Ring, I had already been made well aware of the engineering build quality of SAAB, so at that stage we decided to cut our losses, trade-in the vehicle for scrap value and purchase a 55 plate SAAB 93 Aero Convertible, a terrific car even though [IT]'s NOT German • pictured here on our recent holiday to Cornwall • which looks and drives like new with 100,000 miles plus on the clock compared with the 47,000 miles for the VW NEW BEETLE. Having subsequently discovered the absolute shenanigans of the VW senior management in the so called "Dieselgate Affair" as a British purchaser of VWs I'm glad I quit when I did. …
