  So were weekends at one point. No intent of derailing the thread, but everything is impossible until it’s done. Would you have thought a few weeks ago that California and the federal government could apply enough pressure to the largest pharma companies to set the price of insulin at $35? Me neither, but here we are. Come out swinging, we have nowhere to go but up. https://www.npr.org/2023/03/01/1160339792/eli-lilly-insulin-price https://www.npr.org/2023/03/01/1160339792/eli-lilly-insulin-... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/sanofi-insulin-price-cap-rcna75346 https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/sanofi-insulin-pr... Edit: Looks like California has gone so far as to contract to have it manufactured and set the price at $30, even better. Thesis is “change is possible.” Please excuse the length this example took to demonstrate the point. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3907583-california-moves-to-cap-insulin-cost-at-30/ https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3907583-california-mov...

  Why not? With one stone you hit multiple birds. Housing crisis, traffic crisis, transportation infrastructure crisis, environmental crisis. Covid showed how many jobs can be conducted fully remotely.

    And it showed also how much unthinkable is possible if we want it.. however here we are already again, not being ok to give up false luxuries and who cares about the environment ;)
