Check out the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which is kind of what you are describing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUX-frlNBJY

I think one of the comments in here mentions that Japan only accepts PET plastic which apparently doesn't have these issues. Regardless the main issue is that the US is not strict about how we label things or regulate things related to recycling. There is only a small subset of plastics that are recyclable.

As the other poster mentioned, med schools aren't actually the barrier to increasing the physician workforce. In order to be a practicing physician you need to go through residency training. However the number of residency spots has stayed fixed for the last 3 decades and is controlled by government funding.

If you want more doctors, lobby your government to increase residency training funding.

I'm sheltering in place and in the past 3 hours, I've coded in like 3 areas of my house. I also need to move when my partner is working and is on a call.

Yep, that's the true barrier to entry. The main issue is there is that Congress has capped the Medicare funded residency roles to the same number since 1997 (Balanced Budget Act of 1997). In that time period, the US population has grown 21%.

It's interesting because you know we are weeding out talent that comes from low socio economic backgrounds and who need cash flow to support their families. At end of the day, we shouldn't be weeding out our doctors to only be folks who don't need to support their families for the next 10 years.

Can you explain your logical reasoning for why you believe most folks with medical school debt come from well off middle class families?

I'm confused because need based financial aid for medical schools is still mostly loans. My partner who comes from a relatively poor family (they used to be on welfare) had most of their need based financial aid in the form of loans. Out of her residency class the highest % of folks taking out loans were from low to middle income families not well off families. So I'm curious where you got that stat from?

Zoom is better at quality.

To give an example, they prioritize audio over anything else. Which makes sense because if you can't understand what the person is saying, you can't have a meeting. So they automatically downgrade or upgrade your video to try to keep latency decent on audio. Meet just has a manual setting where you can up or downgrade video or audio.

I'm using a CSA which guarantees delivery: https://www.goldengateorganics.com/

There are some CSAs that target south bay that might work for you. These support farms and you get a strong assurance that you will have food every week.

We also have enough rice and beans in our house that we can probably go for about a month without groceries. Make sure you have rice and beans.

Tender greens is also delivering grocery boxes: https://www.tendergreens.com/blog/002020-grocery-boxes

I would also try smaller stores on Instacart.

Finally there are several groups doing shopping for people like you, my Nextdoor feed has them posting regularly.

By proclaiming this publicly, you influence other CEOs to consider taking this action. It's a good thing to market these actions.

The China case is no where close to applicable to the US. They specifically locked residents into their houses so they couldn't leave and locked down all transport in and out of the province. We are doing nothing of the sort, which means our spread will be much different.
