There are an unfortunate number of misconceptions and buzz statements lingering across the web, which is why I want to deliver facts from a variety of primary, academic, critical, and other (what I assess to be) reputable sources. I will not assert that everything I write is the rightful truth because research and news sources are still susceptible to variances and flaws. As I try to learn more about the industry and global politics, I learn that some statistics and facts are often cherry picked to attack companies, governments, or people or are picked to hide their flaws. I am not an expert, which is why I am pushing myself to keep learning. If something seems questionable, I want you to challenge me or teach me something new!
