A Perspective on Public Health Mandates

Lloyd Blankfein one of the most respected people in this world who was at Goldman Sachs for 37 years provides a really great perspective on the matter. It's not an individual freedom but a public health situation. You don't have the right to run red lights and put others at danger or to go around waving a gun. You have to stop at traffic lights and if the country starts a war you don't have the individual freedom to not go to war.

Affecting the rest of the world with public health. Of course everything is nuanced and there is no exact answer but always great to hear different perspectives and viewpoints especially from some of the most successful people in the world.

CEOs ability to do their job and to lead their people. Champion of the people.

Richart Ruddie Chairman on BLM Pledge

The SEC is asking for commentary on whether or not public companies should take the BLM pledge. The answer is a resounding yes from me. As an entrepreneur who has started numerous companies with a diverse set of team members and continues to fight for greater equality I've found a way to help with effective altruism is to create companies and provide high paying jobs and opportunities for others.

The Future of Ransomware

Future Feedback From The Wall Street Journal

Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported on the first alleged ransomware death, after a cyberattack at an Alabama hospital. Readers shared their thoughts: "This is the same type of issue other industries have encountered when something was built, say an airplane, using 'old' technology, like conventional landing gear. When the plane crashes on landing, the family sues the manufacturer for not using the latest design. Same with the hospital, if they had not done everything to secure their systems, they are at fault. Perhaps it will encourage others to get their security act together." —Archie Minneman, Florida "As our way of life goes digital, cyber risk has become critical. Ransomware attacks are the most serious form of cyberattacks. A lot is required to be done to ensure critical infrastructure systems are protected against such attacks." —Nimmit Jhaveri, Mumbai "Any patient at this hospital who required telemonitoring should have been transferred to a hospital equipped with monitors and knowledgeable staff. I am a retired nurse practitioner with OB/GYN experience and this baby should have lived." —Marcella Rice, New York I think as ransomware has become a common lunch topic we will see serious action taken by companies who do not protect themselves and leave not only their company vulnerble but put their clients at risk will see hefty fines and regulation that they will have no choice but to go that extra length to secure the best they can. As we all know however it's impossible to fully protect against hackers. - Richart Ruddie, Florida
