These two gentlemen have been making the rounds on late night and political shows. They seem nice enough and I appreciate their efforts. However, I haven't heard them suggest a single functional/practical change to move toward "abundance".

We have to overturn Citizens United and get unlimited corporate money out of politics. This is far and away the most important barrier to having a government that works for people.

I believe the most commonly supported tax strategy by economists is an income tax that goes negative below some threshold.

Personally, I'm open to VAT tax because it would be much easier to incorporate the disposal cost into goods and remove externalities (like pollution).

As you've said, it would be ideal to have strategies in place to lessen the burden on people with lower incomes.

This bill doesn't have any of those strategies or objectives.

They sign business associate agreements. It's good enough for HIPAA compliance.

You just hit the chatGPT api for every row of data. Obviously. (Only 70% joking.)

I think this is the cause of my depression. It's horrendously sad to think about what we could be accomplishing if we were just a little efficient.

It's trivial to de-identify someone from shockingly limited data. Just by submission to an outside service, they know a date, location, and whatever information was submitted. That's plenty, especially assuming they referenced a procedure or comorbidities.

I don't know that I really agree with this (based solely on my experiences). I've worked for big, medium and small companies. Big companies may tend to lock you into narrow job roles, outdated technology, and horrible bureaucracy. With medium and smaller companies, you're going to learn a lot more about actually getting things done. Likely in broader areas. But it does depend on what a person is looking for.
