Thoughts on the G-20, the second
A couple thoughts for everyone. Part three will be coming, probably tomorrow.
- See, this is what we didn’t want to happen, now go home! Police say that most damage caused by man from California (the state, not the city).
- Apparently the rebound of Pittsburgh is due to the Penguins, most notably, the Canadian and Russian players. Wow, the logic (it does seem to be tongue-in-cheek though)!
- Honestly, I think this is a good idea. The Pirates can’t get any worse, right?
- I met up with a friend during the day, his thoughts and photos are here, make sure to check out the awesome Pirates protest sign.
So what did the Pittsburgh Summit produce? Here is a link to the document, and the main points of it are after the jump
- To launch a framework that lays out the policies and the way we act together to generate strong, sustainable and balanced global growth
- To make sure our regulatory system for banks and other financial firms reins in the excesses that led to the crisis
- To reform the global architecture to meet the needs of the 21st century
- To take new steps to increase access to food, fuel and finance among the world’s poorest while clamping down on illicit outflows
- To phase out and rationalize over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies while providing targeted support for the poorest.
- To maintain our openness and move toward greener, more sustainable growth
