Tech, your first notation regarding the Fed and 'realnews' I think is sarcastic...? And I don't quite understand your point other than it seems you do not take realnews with credibility...?
If so, geez, I wonder what you have to say about FOX News and CNN, as well as the other three big U.S. networks.
As for Banro and community, yes, I am aware of the benefits to community Barno has provided over the years. Very commendable.
The second link I posted brings up issue of exploited (extracted) resources then used for benefit 'at home' in African countries, rather than just sent overseas.
Issue is using the raw materials to create other working technologies in the country (and continent) which then make further extraction of same materials less costly, applied to greater benefit, jobs, community benefit, currency strength, etc.
