“Skipping foundational steps in order to get to scale fast results in eventual collaspe. Building in steps makes efforts sustainable and allows for more creativity and innovations along the way.”
Excerpt from the book Instructions from the The Cook. Recipes for New Conversations by my good friends George Nemeth and Jack Ricchiuto.
Usury? Alive and well in Cleveland.
Bill Moyers:
What were you thinking as you saw that report from Cleveland? [The segment preceding this interview with Greider covered exorbitant lending practices in Cleveland].
Bill Greider:
Made me angry all over again, even though I know the story. And then I thought, “This is usury.” This is a living example of what the Bible prohibited, which is the sin of usury. Most Americans have never heard of it probably.
Moyers:
Usury?
Greider:
Usury, to be clear about it, is rich people taking advantage of poor people by lending them money on terms that are sure to make them fail. All three of the great religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, had a moral prohibition against usury because they recognized that society can’t function like that. People of great wealth and their institutions like banks naturally have the power to overwhelm people of lesser means. And you can’t allow that in a decent society. It won’t survive.

In computer science a byte (pronounced "bite", IPA: /baɪt/) is a unit of measurement of information storage, most often consisting of eight bits.
techbytes.biz is a unit of measurement of information about all things digitized from the perspective of Douglas Craver.
Doug is a tech and marketing strategist, entrepreneur, writer, huge Hammond B3 Organ fan - and any musician who can master one - and a great cook (I’m told I can, “throw it down”) based in Northeast Ohio.
I like to think of techbytes.biz as a utilitarian tumblelog and virtual workspace. I hope you enjoy your visit, comment and come back soon.
