=======================================
1. ==> Is Amazon HQ2 Just a Transfer of Wealth?
Decision day has come after months of U.S. cities vying
to become the next Amazon headquarters, but Greg LeRoy,
executive director of Good Jobs First, says Crystal
City and Long Island City citizens have no idea what
their elected officials have promised to Amazon. “We
don’t know what special new subsidies have been
promised that will require state or local enactments.
We don’t know if gentrification buffers — especially
affordable housing — are included. We don’t know if
clawbacks or other safeguards are included. We don’t
know the cost per job.” LeRoy says what we do know, is
that both deals were negotiated in secret, without any
public input. “We know that past U.S. ‘megadeals’ have
cost an average of $658,000 per job. At that price,
taxpayers can never come close to breaking even. Such
deals convey a massive transfer of wealth from
taxpayers to shareholders.” Contact Greg LeRoy at
goodjobs@goodjobsfirst.org; @goodjobsfirst
2. ==> How Amazon HQ2 Can Benefit Cities
According to Joe Parilla of the Brookings Institution,
“Leaders in Northern Virginia and New York have signed
up to try to make this work. If done right, these two
global metros could invest in shared regional assets
that not only benefit Amazon but also workers,
communities and other businesses.” Parilla says
Amazon’s presence will have a gravitational pull on
other companies, spin off new businesses, and create
demand for local suppliers. But, he also admits there
are downsides. “Even with the most ambitious workforce
development efforts imaginable, most local residents
will not directly benefit from Amazon’s investment. For
them, there are well-founded concerns that their cost
of living will increase as new arrivals bid up the
price of housing.” Joe Parilla is a fellow at the
Metropolitan Policy Program at The Brookings
Institution. Contact him at (202) 797-6139; @joeparilla

6. ==> Which Came First, the Gift or the Gratitude?
Are we grateful for our gifts or are we gifted because
we’re grateful? According to multimillionaire
entrepreneur, angel investor and author May McCarthy,
gratitude is the mainspring for abundance and success.
“Gratitude helps us maintain the optimal state to
notice more opportunities to achieve our goals. Being
grateful also stimulates our subconscious and intuition
to provide us with more information that is in
alignment with our desired outcomes. We tend to notice
helpful information more easily when we incorporate
gratitude as a habit into our lives.” May McCarthy will
share her formula for success and how to incorporate
its key variable, gratitude. You’ll learn how to
develop your intuition, discover your purpose and use
gratitude to create powerful, practical and achievable
goals. May McCarthy has co-founded and grown six
profitable companies. She is a guest university
lecturer and professional speaker and has appeared on
dozens of local, national, and international radio and
television programs. She is the author of “The Path to
Wealth” and “The Gratitude Formula.” Contact Mara

9. ==> Could this Save California from Wildfires?
Usually the summer and fall months in California are
wildfire season, when dry weather, high temperatures,
and rogue winds set the Golden State aglow in deadly
fires. This year, however, the season continues
unabated, with whole Northern and Southern California
towns evacuated, and at least one city thoroughly
destroyed. Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has
seen firsthand how the fires affect the state, and has
repurposed a fire-proofing material used by NASA into a
powerful line of defense against the conflagration. Has
he found a fool-proof way to fireproof our property and
our natural resources? Jim Moseley will talk about the
current wildfires and how they’ve become more
destructive and how solutions to the problem may be
found in existing technology. Moseley, a Grammy-
nominated trombonist (Google “Moseley Trombone” and
enjoy!) can be reached at (818) 486-4662.

sense rules we need to make common again. Whether it’s
minding your own business or thinking before you speak,
Joffre will discuss simple rules to tame the current
rise in rude behavior, like keeping your voice down in

You are just not that interesting and no one needs to
hear you fighting or arguing. Can’t say something nice?
Then don’t say anything! Not everyone cares what you
think,” says Joffre. Joffre McClung has appeared on
numerous radio and TV programs including CBS TV-Austin
TX, Hay House Radio and The Joe Franklin Show. A former
media producer, independent filmmaker, and author,

Spotting Tool, Nicole Kelly, M.D., will discuss the
current and former White House occupants and whether

13. ==> The Surprising Reason You Might Get the Flu

You’ve had the flu shot, which some years is only just
ten percent effective. And you do your best to avoid

15. ==> This M.D. Knows the Real Causes of Autism, and
the Cure

20. ==> What Really Happens When We Die?
Some people believe that we go to an afterlife, heaven
or hell after we pass on. Others are convinced that we
merely go to sleep for all eternity. While growing up
in a Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an
undertaker, Margo Lenmark learned the truth about what
really happens when we depart this mortal coil. “People
send messages in death that are very clear,” she says.
“Death is not the end. I have gotten messages from dead
people that have helped me to live a better life.” She
shares her fascinating experiences and insights in her
newly published book “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of
an Undertaker’s Daughter.” The book has received
glowing reviews from a number of prominent authors and
spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra, who says,
“Life is not the opposite of death. It is birth and
death that are opposites. Life is the continuum of
birth and death eternally, and now. Read this
engrossing book for your own insights into reality.”
