Hello Readers,

After a brutal winter and cold temperatures, finally it seems a little better for now.

President Trump appointed Elon Musk to run DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and reduce the waste at the government level. However, President Trump allowed access to all the government data, and with that authority Musk wrote an email to all the employees. We all know that the government is working slowly. However, we do not want to disrupt the system as well. Some feel it should be done slowly. It is not a private entity, so it will not change overnight. Change is necessary though. Even many republican leaders have objected as well. However, it is very essential to change the system. Many leaders do not show up, and they still get paid. Many powerful employees show up late, but make sure they attend all of the events arranged by their favorite leader (most of the time it’s on paid time). Trump is supporting Musk’s mandate that all employees write a report every week about what they do. It is good, in that way, where we will know if the employees really work for the people, not for the party or some leaders.

President Trump and his economy are a key question on everyone’s mind. The economy has almost been the same since Trump took office a little over a month ago. However, the people voted for him to do better. The expectations are very high. Trump’s goals are to stop the wars in the world, which is very good. He achieved that in his first term in office. By hook or crook, he wants to stop wars. Ukraine knows that without help from the U.S., the war would not last for 3 months but lasted for 3 years. However, millions of people have lost their lives. Basically, the war started because Russia opposed Ukraine joining NATO. Now, Trump is not supporting President Zelenskyy having Ukraine be part of NATO. Eight or nine countries of the European Union are ready to support Ukraine even today. But without the support of the United States of America, it cannot go far. But why talk about war. Let everyone live in peace.

Education is key to the growth of the country. The U.S. is way behind. We are not even in the top 20 countries in the world. However, with money spent per student we are number one in the world. This hurts. Just throwing around money does not improve education. We need teachers who guide the students and improve quality. However, the worst lacking point is the parents and society. Most of the parents are busy with their work and life. Strong laws also can restrict parents from being tough on their children. If some parents hit their child, they can go to jail. In this case, it is the worry of the parents if they go to jail, who can take care of their child. However, hitting is not the only solution. Parents have to use many tricks to raise their child. From the age of 1, they have to teach the child to respect others, and that education is very important. If one can go to any field of their choice but with a good education, he/she will be respected in society. He/she has the knowledge to place their opinion or thought with others, and ultimately the respect he/she receives will make the person happier.

How much money are pharmaceutical companies making? How much money is the medicine industry making? Maybe it’s less than they were making in the 1980s and 1990s. However, they are still making enough to have a comfortable life. Politics in the medical field is too much. Nepotism is hurting all our medical industry as well.

Have a wonderful week. I’ll talk to you next week.
