these early indications are correct. the dow down 1500 points in just three days. so a big bounce this morning, turn-around tuesday, as they re calling it. very welcome news. but you re still down dramatically from the middle of last week. investors in the dow stocks are down 11% in year. let s pull up that chart to show you the big gains over the last seven years or so. if this market does rise and go up 500 or 600 points, the last time the dow went up 500 points was in november of 2008. november of 2008. that was a long time ago. that s volatility we felt back then. we re feeling similar volatility. very different economy right now. you note that u.s. markets, still the prettiest house on a very sort of ugly block. but how long can they stay pretty if china doesn t get it
world. these are health problems. when you deal with these communities into which you go, it s not just the access to clean drinking water. that s a big deal, but it s everything about how a society and a community operates. right. it is the basic foundation for absolutely all humanitarian efforts and what s sad is we forget about that constantly. we go in and start focusing on great things like education and different diseases, we focus on a lot of great things, but we forget about that foundational need of water. yeah. and it s like a house. if you build a house on a on a shaky foundation, it s going to crumble and that s, i think, a lot of the problems with our efforts globally. you went into darfur, you re going into haiti. what is it you do exactly when you go in there? the whole idea is to bring clean drinking water in a sustainable way, and i think the best way to do that is to make it as simple as possible. so, sometimes there s places that have water already there.
