IDEAS RULE THE WORLD


YOUR IDEA AS A BRAND










ABOUT IDEAS
ABOUT BRANDS


Ideas are the start of charities, companies
but also nations. Best examples are the
Constitution or the Declaration of Independance.

Challenges we face worldwide cry for solutions.
New ideas are born daily as solutions, mostly
from ordinary people, not primarily from
governments. Therefore ideas and action of
citizens are so important.



HOW BRIGHT IDEAS CAN
BECOME LA MICRO BRANDS


We hope this Magazine helps to inspire a
generation to start again to dream, to plan
and realize projects to shape future of a city.

Believe in your plans and you made already a
big step forward. Brands are containers of creativity
and new ideas. Build something unique, amazing,
as a new creation on planet earth. Become a shaper
and stop being only a follower.

Future built on values
A culture of sharing

Sharing skills in run down areas can
become a light in the dark for many.
The editor of this magazine is doing that.

PROPOSE YOUR CREATIVE IDEA
VOLUNTEER TO REALISE IT

When you discover a solution to challenges people face
why not volunteering to fast track the realisation?
If you are lucky you create work places.

Everybody has a right to dream big,
to develop a vision.

the first time in Sanya, one of the
poorest areas of Tokio. This
happened at a time when the Covid
crisis started,










































LIFE IN LA



























THINK IN GENERATIONS

Actions of today will have an outcome
tomorrow or in future. What we plan and
live today can help to build a brighter
future especially when it comes to taxes.
It makes sense to take some time to think
about that.


ABOUT TAXES

There are two approaches to taxes:
The ego-centered approach:
- What is good for me? -
The society-centered approach:
- What is good for a whole society? -
It is about a decision.


ABOUT RENTS IN LA

Before Covid, an estimated 600,000
LA renters were living on the edge,
spending about 90% of their income
on rent. Cited from 'Guardian', an English
Newspaper.


A QUESTION TO LANDLORDS

Meanwhile, rentals on the LA market
have become largely unaffordable
As of April 2022 more than 300,000
households were estimated to be
behind on rent.




A PERSPECTIVE
FOR HOLLYWOOD




It is high time for a change in thinking.

It is high time for new content. Hollywood
could lead the way to new forms of edutainement.
Motivation, Inspiration and Innovation is key.


INNOVATIVE SCRIPTS
IN CHANGING TIMES



A new generation of script writers can
lead the way. Scripts that open new chapters
in the lifes of people.
For instance sripts transforming ghettos into
places of new beginnings instead of designing
killer movies again and again.

Sharing is enriching others. Sharing skills can mean teaching a language or software to disadvantaged people that they can grow.
