    @jon-nyc said in No Easy Fix: Fix is straightforward but politically difficult. Remove most or all zoning and other regulations that limit new construction. Just not in my backyard. Havent there been some city's/counties that have done that, at least for zoning of residential? Wonder how that is working out

    @Tom-K it helps that I know all these guys personally. The problem is I’m getting to an age where I’m the oldest one around and there’s are lots of young people that I don’t know. This guy I just picked up the phone and called and he said come in tomorrow.

    @Mik said in Dune Prophecy?: Well, Doc, you ought to be pretty good at dictation. One of the great joys of my profession is that I rarely had to dictate anything. All my notes on the anesthesia record were handwritten, until we went to the electronic medical record. After that time, the machines took care of charting the vital signs and all I had to do was manually enter any drugs that I gave. Last time I dictated anything was in 1977. Edit to ad: This post was completely dictated.

    Indeed. Imagine if the practices they use in the cable business move to internet. It seems unlikely but maybe at the margins. We’ll see. Congress is unlikely to act unless problems get visible.
