Just follow the train of these two different States who are closest to what experience has deemed as successful in their own era. It would have saved us all. Forget blame and fix it. Seems to me the Baltimore Sun, all by itself can get it's crew together and present the stories of the Hawaii and Massachusetts health systems, right now. That alone will help me decide how to manage my own health in the US under any circumstances. It's not the bills in congress, it's the non-curiosity of We the People to google for ourselves,
Along this type of thinking: I fought in MCI to move the backbone to Dallas TX. That was the decision of top brass. When we relocated under the glorious days of relocation, it was binat halev in the media that Dallas was going to be the IT capital of the world. The infrastructure was already being constructed. Names of streets tell the story. The "hope" lasted 5 years. Some of these streets never did get fully occupied. I watched as India took it all away. The other day I learned that India controls each of our pc's. Now exactly how did that happen? My relocation started in MCI in the DC area in 1989. Why India having the PC Call Center, not Dallas? I was helping my neighbor in Dallas with her PC problems and so during this period of time I did learn a lot about the evolution of the Call Center. Those guys with the then broken English couldn't obstruct my neighbor, she caught on fast, when I was around. She listened to how I talked to them. I could overcome their broken English obstruction. Now they speak perfect English. Repeat, why couldn't Dallas be the US Call Center? Why isn't Mexico teaching Mexicans to be bi-lingual with English as a second language?
Then suddenly in the late 1990's the Reform Branch of Judaism changed it's founding philosophy and it healed the breach in US Judaism: Hebrew Chumash. That was a huge intellectual evolution for just plain old me. It certainly simplified "under God" politically for me.
Now turn to Crisfield during the great depression. It didn't suffer. It WAS the seafood capital of the world. The reason for that decline was refusal to listen to people who believed in conservation. That was no mystery even back in 1950 when I listened to the old timers.
Now turn to Garland TX, in the early 1990's. I attended a local business meeting about shopping in Garland. I learned from the old-timers that the reason Garland was so economically deprived was because they first was offered a Shopping Center and voted it down because they preferred to build residential complexes and keep it a quaint fundamentalist Christian community. So Mesquite got the only local Mall. So these old timers just had to suffer it all. I left for back home here in 2005 and they had almost completed building their very first Town Center. In the last two years I lived there, I suddenly saw shopping inside Garland occur and felt good that my sales taxes were generated in my Texas home town.
My Main Street, Wall Street residential experience.
Now P.G. County has the National Harbor. Also it has a great university and National Archives II and Beltsville Agriculture, all my local part of Maryland now. Oh yes, the ICC.
Again why is the Call Center for Internet in India instead of Dallas?
