term versus long-term investment in the worker. works workers in the labor force. you are looking at in the short term these jobs are moving women into the formal economy. there are opportunities for employees and in both the u.s. and north carolina and in massachusetts where my business is operating in lawrence, massachusetts. and bangladesh or around the world. you are also looking at the long-term growth of bangladesh s economy, how do we empower because it is not easy, not an easy question but it is good for business. i think the business and opportunity for retailers and manufacturers alike to say that worker empowerment can be good for business, productivity, efficiencies, and things we can achieve when workers aren t worrying about how they are going to pay bills and taking care of health concern and when they are empowered to be efficient productive parts and building a company, building a global economy. every society goes through the same process. start with cheap labor.
money directly to candidates is, of course, you know, what we were seeing in watergate, two candidates, outside of candidates, but that s why we have campaign contribution limits. briefcases of cash going i m not talk about that. i m talking about the name on the check. there are states that do that. it does it does happen. i think that like when it comes to congress, you already have a situation where everybody has to start fund-raising from day one. even before day one you have to star fund-raising. i wonder what would happen if you have unlimited donations. would there be any governance happening? i mean i don t know. just a question. it is a solution, most definitely. probably the best i think that would be easier. if you were able to connect with these broader groups that were wanted to do it full time and organize it full time and funnel the money directly to you, i think that would alleviate some of the what politicians have to do. on the disclosure thing i kno
i don t know they change anybody s votes. i think the big question is super pacs at least acknowledge that they are political action committees and disclose their donors. what we have seen with some of these c-4 groups is that they are applying to the irs for c-4 stat us and applications say we are not going to spend money onful particulars. a group that said as they were mailing their application for the irs, not spending money on politics, already up and running ads in nevada and florida. and irs law enforcement question where they are not subjecting enough groups to further review. it is also so blurry because marc talks about the distinction between politics and elections which exists but could be nebulous because we live in sidney blumenthal called it 30 years ago, the age of the permanent campaign. i put a couple bright lines. we need the lines. here is the question with the scandals, i don t know want to call it a scandal but stuff happening in washington now.
account that had videos related to islamic fundamentalism and a playlist labeled terrorists. the videos have been removed from that playlist. so that appears to have a meaning. again, there s no manifesto, there s no statement here. but the youtube and the trip are the things that are making law enforcement question whether there was radicalization here. that s right, reverend. the government right now, the counterterrorism community is connecting the dots. you have identified several dots that are going to be connected. we don t know if this is a linear process and leads to an obvious conclusion based on what we have seen so far or if there are external or internal factors that force or push for these individuals to become mass murderers because what they did was try to kill and maim innocence and at the same time put in place an arsenal of weapons and ieds where they were
thinking. martha: what should we do? you know, if americans are still being held and this is a very fuzzy situation right now what should the reaction be? i think we need to get some clarity what s going on the ground but i think what it also shows you can t wait for this kind of event to happen before you plan in advance. i think we blindsided by the attack in benghazi, by the attacks on our other embassies. we should have plans in place where there are americans, private citizens, we re talking about here that our government should protect just as much as our official representatives in case this happened. and there is just no evidence to me, it should be a subject for congressional inquiry, what plans the administration has, contingency plans when this sort of hostage-taking takes place. but more broadly this is a problem of a fundamental failure of conceptualization of what the issue is with the rise and the growth of islamic terrorism. this is not a law enforcement question. thi
