Article is superficial

The Tony Blair Institute is NOT an NGO. It is a Think Tank that charges/receives money from banks, governments, corporations etc.

"The institute also pushes for governments around the world to digitise their health records, an agenda that happens to tally with the corporate interests of one of its biggest donors, Larry Ellison. Ellison, the co-founder of the technology company Oracle who has ties to Donald Trump, has long been a strong supporter of the TBI. Oracle’s executive director for external relations, Awo Ablo, is also one of the TBI’s four directors."

Digitisation in many areas is a fad that costs a lot of money and electricity, plus absorbs a lot of workforce, which causes shortages in other areas (teaching, nursing, even construction workers). Before digitisation I could go to a city office to redeem an investment within 10 minutes. Nowadays I have spent about 6 hours over the last 3 weeks and the deal is still not finished.

And while I am here I cannot fail to say that the Institute looks like a failure to me. Russia has made quite some inroads into West Africa (Mali, Niger. Burkina Faso) and the ever widening Middle East war, which started from Gaza. is the exact outcome that was to be prevented. 1,000 people working for yhe Institute I read elsewhere, and what a result. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:E5AF:1297:7739:842D (talk) 12:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
