Happy NFL Draft Day to all who celebrate. Quarterback Josh Allen just signed a six-year, $330M contract with the Buffalo Bills, with $250M guaranteed – the largest guaranteed contract ever given to an NFL player. Yet, when Allen graduated high school, he had zero four year scholarship offers. He bounced around junior college before deciding to send 1000 emails to D-1 coaches across the country. The opening line? “I want to be your quarterback.”Hope you'll join us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Over the course of the weekend tremendous news broke around the NFL regarding trade deals, extension signings, and more. With legal tampering taking in full effect today, organizations across the NFL waste no time in scooping and signing players to their roster for the 2025 season over the weekend. With huge trades breaking like Devante Adams to the Rams followed by Geno Smith sent to Las Vegas, no one seems to be completely off the table in regards to the tampering around the league. Also highlighting a couple of huge extensions, Josh Allen reaches a 6-year $330M with $250M guaranteed which happens to be the largest guarantee given to an NFL player followed with Myles Garrett signing a 4-year extension averaging $40M a year with $123.5 guaranteed. Noting all the signings and extensions leaves many questioning what may the city of Houston tend to do next? As contracts and rookie deals begin to expire Sean and Brian pose to listeners, what could Will Anderson Jr's. contract extension tend to look like, if the Texans do decide to resign him?

Halima Afi joined Detroit is Different to share information about an upcoming public meeting on December 19, 2022 for the Wayne County Arts Institute Authority. The DIA currently receives $25-$30 Million dollars per year in public funding through the Tri-county millage. Over the next ten years, the DIA will receive an estimated $330M! In the current service contract, only $1.3M/yr of this funding is assigned to specific activities; the remainder is spent entirely at the DIA's discretion, i.e. with no public oversight In 2022, the Service Agreements that define the relationship between the DIA and the Tri-counties are up for renewal. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to renegotiate the relationship between the DIA and the community. Right now is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to negotiate a better deal for the residents of Wayne County, as they are set to sign the new Service Agreement on December 19, 2022! Please tell the Wayne County Arts Institute Authority DO NOT SIGN the new Service Agreement with the DIA until: There are Checks and Balances in place! There is 100% transparency and reporting on ALL public (millage) money! There is a process for public input and participatory budgeting! There is a commitment of public dollars going toward the local arts ecosystem! $15/hr min. for all workers at the DIA!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
The New York Yankees' approximate offer to Aaron Judge was reported today by ESPN's Jeff Passan. Is it something the San Francisco Giants will be able to exceed? The Yankees' offer to Judge, according to Passan, is around eight years and $300 million. That would be an average annual value (AAV) of $37.5M. That would make Aaron Judge the highest-paid position player in baseball on a per-season basis, surpassing Mike Trout's $35.5M. However, Bryce Harper's $330M total guarantee would still stand as the largest free-agent deal ever handed out. The SF Giants should be able to match or exceed the Yankees' reported offer, but it stands to reason that New York is willing to go higher than their standing offer of $300M.If the Giants miss out on Judge—and heaven forbid he ends up on the Dodgers or something—what should they do? They're perhaps even somewhat likely to sign Carlos Correa if Judge falls off the board. Judge is clearly their top target, but Correa seems to have emerged as their second choice. Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area has consistently reported as such over the last few days and weeks, and other local journalists have echoed this sentiment. Correa is 2.5 years younger than Judge, and is likely to command a similar number of years. When all is said and done, Judge is the best right now and is certainly the most likely to drive fan interest and ticket sales, but Correa might be a better fit from a long-term perspective. If the Giants miss out on Judge and Correa, there are still other top shortstops, and there are some really good top-of-the-rotation arms, and center fielder Brandon Nimmo. A lot is expected to happen at the upcoming Winter Meetings in San Diego, which kick off on Sunday.Would the Giants consider just letting their young guys play if they miss out on free agents? Could Bryce Johnson do what Cody Bellinger does? The SF Giants seem unlikely to just let their young guys sink or swim their 2023 season. The Giants are determined to put a far more compelling team on the field next year, and they certainly should feel pressure to get back to the playoffs. It's hard to envision a scenario in which they don't come away with a much better looking team on paper going into 2023. That being said, their organizational philosophy is to always create opportunities for younger players who are deserving of such chances.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

In this episode of Law, disrupted, John is joined by David Bilsker, partner at Quinn Emanuel & co-chair of the biotechnology practice, and Margaret Shyr, associate at Quinn Emanuel. David and Margaret represent a Chinese-based DNA sequencing company, BGI (Beijing Genomics Institute), which recently made headlines in China for winning the largest ever U.S. jury award for a Chinese-based company. In this episode, John discusses how BGI ultimately prevailed against the U.S.-based leader in the DNA sequencing field, Illumina—not only in achieving this record-breaking jury verdict but also invalidating Illumina patents that were the cornerstone of its decades-long dominance in the sequencing market.The episode begins with John exploring how Illumina gained its market reputation and power in DNA sequencing, which plays a huge role in fighting and understanding diseases like COVID-19. In the early 2000s, Illumina bought a British company, Solexa, whose patents and technology allowed the former to maintain its market leadership in DNA sequencing ever since. Next, David introduces the background of BGI, which started in China to contribute to the Human Genome Project, and BGI's eventual acquisition of a Silicon Valley-based sequencing company, Complete Genomics. John asks how Chinese DNA sequencing companies cross paths with U.S. patent litigators. David gives an overview of how Illumina initiated a worldwide campaign against BGI to prevent it from introducing its DNA sequencers to the market –Illumina even won a preliminary injunction in California. With BGI being legally foreclosed from the U.S. market, they recognized that they needed the Quinn Emanuel team, led by David, to take over.John discusses with David and Margaret the challenges of litigating against Illumina in California, where Illumina was asserting patents that had survived numerous challenges by other would-be competitors, ending these earlier market entry attempts. David and Margaret describe the invalidity strategy and evidence unearthed during discovery that led to the invalidation of Illumina's flagship patent at trial. John also notes the team's successful mitigation of Illumina's predictable attempts to appeal to anti-Chinese sentiments to members of the jury. Despite having no non-infringement defenses, BGI was found to owe $8 million to Illumina on the remaining four patents—a mere fraction of Illumina's ask. Then John moves on to the Delaware case, tried only a few months later, in which David and Margaret turned the tables on Illumina and achieved the $333m verdict for Complete Genomics and BGI. They discuss the challenges of asserting CGI's patents and defending against Illumina's patents covering complex DNA sequencing technologies in a ten-day time-restricted trial. Margaret notes that Illumina's main strategy against CGI's patents was based on telling a “prior invention” story through an Illumina senior executive. David explains how the Quinn Emanuel team developed key infringement and validity evidence during fact discovery and its presentation at trial. John and David discuss David's cross-examinations of Illumina's lead expert, senior executive, and the mid-trial “surprise” from this executive that derailed Illumina's case. They also explain the strategy to limit the precious trial time spent on Illumina's asserted patents, but to inflict maximum surgical harm through cross-validation to invalidate all of Illumina's patents. John also highlights the damages presented by another Quinn partner, David Perlson, who established to the jury that BGI should be awarded its full $333.8m claim. David describes the headline-making coverage of this victory in China and its significance for Chinese companies. Finally, John, David, and Margaret discuss the ultimate settlement of this global lawsuit, which resulted in Illumina paying $325M to BGI, believed to be one of the largest patent verdicts ever.

In the year of our Lord 1987, a microbiologist named Curt Jones blessed us with the invention of Dippin' Dots. The nation's theme parks were never the same. But with success comes thievin' bitches. (Or just… regular competition, depending on how you look at it.) Curt decided to protect his patent. In doing so, he found himself in a lengthy and costly legal battle. T'was a rocky road. Then Brandi tells us about Beau Rothwell, who is somehow even douchier than his name suggests. Beau was unhappy in his marriage, but didn't bother communicating that to his wife, Jennifer. Instead, he had an affair while simultaneously trying to get Jennifer pregnant. When Jennifer became pregnant, Beau was stunned. What was a douche to do? And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia.

America has severe doctor supply and demand issues, but the truth is we actually do have enough doctors. How is this possible? After today's episode you'll know how our medical system's resources are misused and what our country must do to improve long-term medical capacity. The patients who understand this will be able to hold the necessary players accountable to make lasting change.If the US healthcare system is a chessboard, and providers are the game pieces, America is playing those pieces with just one column and row instead of using the whole space! Several journals, economists, and medical professionals are on the record for saying that in the next 10- to 20-plus years, physician supply will be dangerously low. They're 100% correct that supply won't meet demand as we know it, but the reasons are flawed. Alarmists have been complaining about doctor shortages for decades. Physician retirement and burnout can't fully explain the current forecasted gaps. The physician shortage everyone worries about remains instead a grand misallocation of our resources. Before moving forward, we have to understand the true influences of physician supply, demand, and then how those two elements change based on population-wide trends.So how many doctors are out there? There are just over one million licensed physicians. According to a census run by the Federation of State Medical boards, the number of doctors grew ~20% from 2010-2020. Most of that growth (+168k physicians) is attributed to new graduates. In the same time frame, the US population rose ~7% to ~330M. It seems that doctors are better than keeping pace, but those headline numbers are misleading. Not all doctors practice the same amount of medicine. Younger millennial doctors seeking work-life balance, late-career doctors, and burned-out providers put in less hours at the clinic. The spread of 2010 to 2020 medical licensees shows the number of doctors aged 60+ grew 48% and those aged 49 and below gained 16%. Are there enough new graduates to replace others getting close to retirement? The number of medical graduates grew ~32% from 2011 to 2021. That percentage sounds nice relative to population growth (~7%), but the absolute 2021 number is small at ~28k grads. The US population is a slow growing mega-fountain while medical graduates/workers are a fast-growing sink faucet. Don't expect both to balance each other without help. New residents, though climbing, remain a lagging signal since it takes years to produce a new doctor. More data gathered by the Kaiser Family Foundation also show the fact that ~47% of licensed doctors are primary care providers (~496k PCPs) with the remainder being specialists. This breakdown suggests that on average, one primary doctor serves 665 people, and one specialist serves 584 people. This is another numerical trick. The doctor-to-patient ratios appear extreme until you learn that most physicians can handle patient groups in the low-thousands. There's a critical difference between real capacity and max capacity. If the US population doubled tomorrow, one average PCP would oversee ~1,300 patients and one specialist would take care of ~1,100 patients. These are reasonable expectations. So why do both patients and economists keep worrying about doctor capacity? Part of the answer is that shortage isn't the same as supply.Physicians don't magically pop into clinics, see patients, and then poof away. Reality shows instead that Amazon.com is better at deliver at delivering packages anywhere in two days than we are with having doctors in the right place at the right time. Our doctor supply needs to be realigned instead of rebuilt. As Covid-19 was picking up steam in 2020, Harvard Business Review made some commentary about necessary supply-side changes to help America reach its max healthcare capacity. The authors stress that hyper-urbanized regions have too many doctors chasing relatively concentrated patients, and in turn rural areas have too few doctors for spread-out patients. Most physicians in private and public settings also work primarily during the traditional workweek—some professionals stuff their patients into a few weekdays. Having additional time over weekends or after usual hours gives opportunities for patients to get care when normal time-frames don't make sense for some demographics. Physicians have to do paperwork as well as see patients, which introduces a brutal time crunch. Having more administrative staff might alleviate some hours for our doctors but the whole cost of the medical system climbs if enough facilities do that. Even if a physician has the availability to see thousands of patients, that doctor can still reject Medicare and Medicaid patients because the payments will be much lower than private insurance. The authors then claim that expanding AI solutions, targeting more patients by tuning availability, and expanding the non-physician workforce (e.g. nurses and physician assistants) can increase each doctor's patient panel enough to keep up with demand. Of all these suggestions, redefining the available times for when primary care office doctors see patients and embracing technology like AI to clean up administrative hassles (i.e. patient charts, insurance claims) are the most appropriate supply-side adjustments we have to make. Of course, supply has to meet demand somewhere; the bigger story behind America's doctor shortage is demand itself running way from our control.US medical care's true needs are what create the shortage in the first place. The Association of American Medical Colleges, or AAMC, publishes a 25-year forecast of physician supply. In their 2019-2034 review, the authors calculated demand based on demographic changes, incidence of diseases affecting those related demographics, and care delivery setting. We know the elderly are growing in number and need more assistance. Care for those ages 65+ takes up 34% of demand now and is estimated to reach 42% by 2034. On top of that, more people are contracting diabetes and heart issues. Those conditions are manageable, but not straightforward. The current trajectory of US medical needs suggests a shortage of ~38k-124k physicians and ~18k-48k primary care doctors by 2034. Those are massive gaps compared to ~28k expected new medical graduates in 2021, but the AAMC lowered both top ends of those ranges by 12-14% year over year from their last report. Why are these ranges so wide and why is the estimated doctor shortage not as bad as the AAMC thought? The report highlights four major countrywide scenarios improving real medical capacity and reducing shortage forecasts. Two of the outcomes are unrealistic and two are practical. These supply and demand futures as well as the other sources in this pod will be on my post at rushinagalla.substack.com.The easy fifth scenario is everything just staying the same. If new medical graduate growth rates and population aging continue, then we get the shortfall numbers I mentioned earlier. The first interesting but otherwise impractical change is all covered patients becoming part of an HMO or ACO insurance plan. In this world, medicine, doctors, and money are vertically integrated like how a company may own its whole supply chain. Based on current US healthcare policy, insurance trade groups, and physician organizations, there would be unending political gridlock to reach this outcome. The next demand change scenario is magical thinking at its finest, but is a helpful reference point regardless. The AAMC modeled what may happen if we all decided work on losing weight, cutting glucose, quitting smoking, and reducing cholesterol. Population-wide health improvements are something we can strive for, but we're human. That utopia is out of most patients' reach. However, the next two possible futures seem a little more reasonable. Drugstores like CVS and Walgreens are sprouting their own clinics. The proliferation of these retail clinics introduces alternative primary care facilities treating minor but acute issues. It's efficient for patients to get basic goods, prescriptions, and routine medical exams at the same place. If referrals to specialists are needed, then patients can still get those permissions and move on with their care rather than waiting too long for a traditional clinician's advice. More registered nurses and physician assistants under strict oversight is another legit overarching trend for plugging the gaps of care doctors can't easily reach. A combination of these scenarios may help to heal Americans faster and keep us from needing doctors to grow on trees.Whatever the consensus definition is for the US's physician shortage, cleaning up healthcare delivery, opportunity, and patient targeting is how supply and demand can rebalance closer to each other. Patients clearly seeing these needs will better handle whatever changes happen next to our medical system.

In today's PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 49 of owner stories with Bryan from Silicon Valley in California. Bryan fondly remembers his neighbours Porsche 911 in the early 80's. A car he had the opportunity to ride in as a 6-year-old. This was Bryans first experience in a Porsche. Bryan's first car was Honda Accord, BMWs followed including the iconic 90's 325is, a new 330M sport among others. Life happens, and Porsche was off Bryan's radar for a while. That was until a few years ago. One day after seeing his colleagues 996 Carrera 4S Bryan started thinking about Porsches again. Although wanting a 911, Bryan decided on a well optioned, Porsche certified, 2018 Macan S as his first Porsche. A great example of the Macan, but after a short period Bryan realised what he really wanted was a 911. He wasted no time, sold this Macan S and put a 911 in his garage. Which 911? Well Bryan is now the owner of a 2001 996 Carrera 2 Cabriolet, in Lapis blue. Welcome back to the PorscheCooled Podcast Follow Bryan on Instagram @manuell_996 Every Porsche tells a story and each owner has a different story to tell – that is what the PorscheCooled owner stories is all about.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts are joined by Abayomi Azikiwe, Editor of the Pan-African News Wire, to discuss the Sudanese transitional government's rejection of the Trump administration's demand that the country normalize relations with Israel, why the US demand for a $330 million payment in exchange for Sudan's removal from the US 'State Sponsor of Terror' list "sounds like extortion," and why the coup in Mali represents a critical moment for the future of African sovereignty.
How do you survey 330 million people across 4M square miles? Every 10 years: the United States government is constitutionally required to take a census, which then gets used as the basis for distributed hundreds of billions of tax dollars. In 2010, doing the census cost $12 billion. They printed 17 million pages of paper maps and 50 million paper questionnaires. In 2020, the Census Bureau is going digital in 59 languages. Good timing too: COVID-19 happened, and the Census Bureau had to cut back some of their door-to-door surveying. In this TechFirst with John Koetsier, we chat with the US Census Bureau live on the 2020 digital census ... what kind of technology do you need to build for that? What's the required capacity? How do you secure it all? How do you protect it from bots and hacking? And, how do you run a census during Coronavirus shutdowns?

Introduction “Young people are not coming out to vote.” “Hillary Clinton did not inspire voting in the way that Obama did.” “In off-year elections, we expect to see reduced voting.” “We expect to see about 55% of eligible voters coming to the polls in this presidential election year.” In round numbers, there are 330M people in the US, 230M of voting age, 150M registered voters and 130M who bothered to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Why so few? It takes less time to vote than it does to do a load of laundry. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing Caution: This is not a get-out-the-vote podcast; this is a get-out-the-well informed vote podcast. And by well informed, I mean thoughts and opinions that are grounded in facts, honest and in-depth analyses of contrasting and dissenting opinions--all formed in the crucible of non agenda-based reasoning. One of the principles we believe in here at Revolution 2.0™ is that with every right, in this case the right to vote after qualifying legally, comes an equal or greater responsibility. Being well informed by the definition I am using is the responsibility related to voting. Remember the observation that it takes less time to vote than it does to do a load of laundry? And we vote every two years, with a fill-in election from time-to-time. Take the equivalent of the load of laundry time on a weekly basis, and devote it to understanding our shared American history, and today’s politics and finances. With an emphasis on the in-depth analyses of contrasting and dissenting opinions, and you will be a well-qualified voter. And in the top .01% of all the people who post on social media. That would make you one in a thousand. At the official founding of our nation, with the ratification of the Constitution in 1789, only propertied white males could vote. This was the opposite of inclusiveness and diversity, but it had temporary advantages. These were the very men who had just gone through a revolution, an impossible revolution pitting a tiny country with an ill trained and poorly equipped military, against the the most powerful force the world had ever seen. Here’s a summary of our miraculous victory: We lost and we lost and we lost--and then we won. This country, our country, had risked everything and won. America and its fighters risked their lives, property and money--everything they had--to gain their--and our--freedom. They had, in the most expansive meaning of the term, “skin in the game.” You can believe that they had enough of themselves invested in their country, that they--each one--would do a deep dive into the candidates and issues before voting. A deep dive that would go far beyond what the vast majority of what people--even those who feel they are well informed voters--are willing to do today. Why? The answer is simple; they knew how precious freedom was--they initially did not have it, then risked everything to get it. And they were not going to endanger that treasured freedom by being casual voters. Very few people today are anywhere near that diligent when it comes to voting. Why? The answer is again simple; we take our freedoms for granted, never believing for a moment there is any connection between those precious--and rare--freedoms, and how well we inform ourselves before we participate in the political process. Since we do not realize what our freedoms are worth, what it costs to earn and maintain them, we assign little value to them. And they’re not worth protecting with something as easy as being well-informed. Note that we are not talking about taking up arms and fighting for our freedoms; we are talking about acquiring and analysing information. All too many of our politicians, media and influencers are no longer building upon the breakthrough vision that was America in 1776, desperately fought for and defended many times, and given to us for growth and protection. Those politicians,
Rags to riches stories are especially popular due to the fact they remove many stigmas typically associated with making money, particularly multigenerational wealth. They're inspiring and prove that if one person can do it, so can another. Our guest's story fits this narrative, but above all, his positive focus and magnetism has allowed him to have a successful speaking career which then transitioned into a successful real estate business. Our guest for today is Vinney Chopra, who is a sought after multifamily syndication expert that has appeared on numerous podcasts and other media outlets. Over the past 12 years he has honed his skills and has successfully done 28 syndications, 14 of those being in the past 3 years. He now controls over $330 million in this niche market. Vinney is also the international best-selling author of the book Apartment Syndication Made Easy: A Step By Step Guide and is the host of two podcasts. Today we are going to discuss... One key metric that can determine if a market is worth considering for an investment Why our guest is still looking at multifamily deals, but is still also finding senior living compelling How our guest raises funds, and why he has stuck with a $100,000 minimum investment Learn more about our guest: Website: vinneychopra.com Email: jon@vinneychopra.com Text: "LEARN" to 474747 or "INVEST2020" to 474747

Introduction We are offering all the wrong rewards in our ongoing process of nominating and hiring new leaders of the free world. We offer poor pay, constant and stinging criticism, a frequently uncooperative Congress, and a Supreme Court that may undo any accomplishment. And enough lavish perks and ego strokes to make Nero happy. That’s why we keep getting a grab bag assortment of candidates. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing Let’s imagine for a moment that we owned a company enjoying revenues in the $10M per year range; The CEO of our company would make about $400K/year, exactly what we pay the President of the United States. And there would most likely be significant incentives for hitting desired targets on top of that. Our hypothetical company is well positioned in a growing market, with a history of innovation. We now need a new CEO; the current one is retiring, partly due to age, and partly for her health. She was a highly successful founding CEO, and now we need a great new CEO to stay profitable and continue to expand rapidly. As we write the job description, we need to remember that the candidate would expect that the job would come with investors who would cooperate and encourage. And jump in to help if needed and wanted. As we write the description of the desired candidate, we know the key is to emphasize the opportunities and the required skills that will attract the type of leader we need. We are going to get candidates who want what we are offering. If we offer strong compensation for robust, positive results, we will attract candidates who want that, and believe they can deliver. If we offer poor compensation, lavish perks, fame, and an uncooperative environment, we will get candidates who are willing to suffer the low compensation and difficult environment in return for the perks and the fame. But why on earth would any sane business owner offer the that? Why? We, the voters, the owners of our American democracy, do it all the time. And it gets worse with each election. Imagine the kind of candidates we would get if we ran the following Help Wanted ad: “CEO to run a company of 330,000,000 people, with a security force of 1,300,000. Your Board of Directors is split between two groups; one with 435 members, the other with 100. Both groups are divided between those who will like the CEO, and those who will detest the CEO. The HR department has 9 members who often overrule everyone else. Every four years the people get to vote on the CEO, and in between they vote on the Board. There is also a bureaucratic department of 2,000,000 employees, none of whom can be fired. Compensation is $400K annually, with good benefits, a pension plan, meal plan, housing and transportation. Must be good with people; half of the 330M people in the company will be out for your hide at any given moment. During the 18 month interview process, you will be subject to intense scrutiny, exhausting travel, and you and your family will be vilified. Apply to USA, an equal opportunity employer. The US Presidency is arguably the toughest, and certainly the most consequential, job in the world. We need, “Men To Match My Mountains” a book by Irving Stone about the men who matched the challenge of opening the American West. On occasion, we have seen men who matched the then current challenges and were able to step up to the dreadful tasks demanded of the times. George Washington risked everything he owned, including his life, as a traitor to the British Crown, to be part of creating the breakthrough founding documents. He then led the ragtag army that defeated the most powerful military the world had ever seen. Similarly, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, to list a few, rose to the occasion when crises loomed and they steered us through to the other side. Here’s a compliment to George Washington from an entirely unlikely quarter.
Introduction We need economic and financial sustainability. Sustainability is a concept much in the news these days. Sustainable fishing, energy and wood products, to name a few. We were told, without complete consensus among scientists, that we have 12 years, now a bit less than that, to live on earth without experiencing a complete climate disaster--announced to be an existential threat--a threat to our very existence. Unless, we are told, we immediately find radically different and sustainable ways to live. What about economic and financial stability? All of the Green New Deal remedies start in the trillions of dollars. Add in the cost of social new deals like Medicare for All, All being defined as everyone currently residing in the US along with free college and many more trillions in spending are proposed. And that’s with a current federal budget of less than $5 trillion. How can that be financially sustainable? How is that not a clear and convincing threat to life as we know it? That is the subject of today’s 10-minute blog/podcast Continuing I believe that America is a unique and exceptional place, and that you--you and I--have an equally unique and exceptional role to play in it. Yes, you have heard that from me before, and you will hear it again. That’s what drives this podcast. Your role, our role, includes knowing the debt and deficit numbers, how they are likely to grow, and what they mean for us, for America. And for our children and grandchildren. As of today, the 330M people in the US owe $22 trillion, money we have borrowed to keep going. That’s $67K owed by every man, woman or child in our country. If you add in what the federal government has promised in things like government worker pensions, Medicare and Social security, we are over $90 trillion in debt. Pause for definitions: The deficit is the difference between what the feds receive in taxes, and what they spend. The deficit is covered by borrowing. Just like a credit card; if you spend more than you make, you need to borrow to make things work. The debt is the total amount the feds, that’s the taxpayers, owe. Again like a credit card, the debt is the total amount owed, while the deficit is the amount you just borrowed. The total debt is accumulated deficits. Our national debt is $22 trillion, with an average annual deficit of $1 trillion. At the risk of making your eyes roll back in your head, let’s bring up another comparison between the feds and a person or family. Fair? The annual federal budget is about $4.7 trillion. An annual deficit of $1 trillion, means that our government is borrowing over 20% of its budget each and every year. If a household spent the US annual average, $60K a year, it would have to borrow $12K, 20%, each and every year to match the feds in borrowing compared to budget. How long could a household sustain, there’s that word again, that percentage of borrowing before it collapsed? After 10 years, the household would owe $120K, and that’s not counting interest, which could easily double that amount. With no end in sight. Here’s a better question; how long can we, the US, sustain that kind of borrowing? We cannot and should not tax our way out of this mess. We do not have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem. Said differently our golden goose is healthy and producing ever more golden eggs. If we continue to threaten the national golden goose by increasing taxes and regulations, we will kill the American goose. For those of you who were actually paying attention in school, and not reading Aesop’s fables, Aesop wrote of a farmer who had a magical goose; one that would lay golden eggs every day. The farmer lived quite well selling the gold, but he got impatient; in his ignorance of how things worked, he cut the goose open to get all the eggs at once. Isn’t our society doing the same thing; killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? Unlike state or local governments, and alas,
Incroyable ce contrat offert par les Phillies à Bryce Harper! Mais on parlait de 500M$ il y a juste plus d'un an. Donc, les Phillies ont fait une bonne affaire, non? La réponse est effectivement oui.

Summary We all know that if we want to attract high quality candidates to important positions anywhere; in business, the military, healthcare, law enforcement and fire protection, teaching and so on, that the job description and compensation must be highly attractive. Additionally, the working environment must be cooperative and supportive. The best candidates have many options. All of that is pretty straightforward. Imagine the kind of candidates we would get if we ran the following Help Wanted ad: “CEO to run a company of 330,000,000 people, with a security force of 1,300,000.

Welcome to episode 52 of Open The Pod Bay Doors. This week we dive into career and experience of Michelle Deaker, Managing Parter at OneVentures. The firm has $330M in funds under management. Michelle serves on the investment committee of OneVentures three main Funds, leads the technology practice within the firm and is responsible for investor relations managing the supervisory boards of OneVentures funds.As well as being a VC, Michelle is also a scientist who double majored in Physics and Chemistry. Michelle has always had a passion for science, holding a Bachelor of Science (Honours 1st class), Master of Science a PhD (Applied Science), and her first role was in mineral physics at CSIRO. For Michelle, science teaches you how to learn.In the late nineties Michelle built an e-commerce store called Giftvouchers.com, which she started by owning every gift voucher domain name before turning it into one of the first Australian Fintech companies. Michelle raised $6.5M from HNW's to fund the venture, as they pivoted to B2B to manage 700M retailer gift cards across Australia. They sold the business in 2005 which was then acquired by a publicly listed UK company.Michelle spent the next year travelling back and forth to the UK and it was hear she got her first taste of angel investing, with UK business MyPay. This would lead her to launch the venture firm, OneVentures in 2006, a time when raising a fund was almost impossible. The firm has invested in 17 companies; recent investments include a nanopatch company, Vaxxas, that could be a game changer as it replaces needles for vaccinations and Smart Sparrow, which allows for adaptive lessons and rich media. It is now used by more than 200 institutions and has created hundreds of jobs. They’ve also currently achieved 3 exits with a couple more coming through in the pipeline.OneVentures is currently raising a $100m for Australia’s first venture debt fund and this year, will complete about 5 deals averaging a check size of $5-10m.Michelle is a trailblazer, being the first female founder of a venture fund in Australia, in fact according to Larry Marshall (CSIRO) she was at one point the only female founding venture partner in the southern hemisphere! Thankfully more women are entering the VC community. We really enjoyed our conversation with Michelle, one of Australia's great tech pioneers.
The issue we face in Pre-K-12 public schools is deteriorating performance, with the request for additional funding as the solution. Teachers are protesting, and teacher unions are demanding more money in the name of the students. All the while our students and their families are being underserved. In some cases, cheated; their High School diplomas lure them into thinking they have the required education to get and hold down a job. When that turns out to be false, they blame other factors, including racism & privilege when the real issue is they have not been taught the basics. The basics. Respect for authority, decent grammar, and the beginnings of a work ethic. Who can find fault with the graduates for blaming outside factors when the real culprit is the lie they were told about the adequacy of their education? Don’t tell me for a second that we can’t solve this problem. All we need is a common goal. And we don’t have one. Here’s a useful link to our Common Goals discussion. This is not a difficult problem to solve. Few of the issues facing our communities and nation are. This nation of 330M people is the most successful and wealthiest in the history of history. Look at what we did with “one-time challenges” we have met, like going from the first heavier-than-air flight at Kitty Hawk to putting a man on the moon (and getting him back safely)in 66 years. Our many lasting accomplishments include the US essentially having invented the high-tech industry. Silicon Valley and its geographic extensions comprise the single greatest idea-and wealth- generating engine on the planet. And we have gone from being terrified of running out of oil (remember Peak Oil?) to being a net exporter. Now the energy conversation is appropriately changing from fear of running out of gas to looking at the best way to transition to renewable fuels. We can make that type of change in our schools. Taxpayers invest in schools as a way of investing in our youth. Imagine with me that you are an investor in a company that is putting out an important, but deteriorating, product, and management comes to you asking for additional money. You ask what is going to be done differently with the additional money, and the response is, "We are not going to change any policies, personnel or "production", but we will pay everyone more, and have a larger, better looking factory." What would you do? Hint: the answer is never more money. More money never fixed anything--it’s just kicking the can down the road until the next request for, you guessed it, more money. OK, what should our common pre-K-12 goal be? Try, “Having the best pre-K-12 education with the most efficient use of taxpayer money.” The teacher’s unions, acting like any bureaucracy, seem to be hell bent on defending and increasing their power and their compensation in the name of the students. “What, you hate kids?” is the likely response if you resist--or even question--additional funding. Students and their families are increasingly scrambling as they try to find an affordable way to have access to a decent education. Underpaid teachers are paying for supplies which they often bring to school in dated cars. There is little--if any--correlation between funding per pupil and performance. At $25K per year per student, the District of Columbia (Washington D.C.) has the highest per-pupil spending in the nation, by more than $4,000 over New York which spends the second most,” he said. Both school systems are miserable. Clearly no correlation here. If--and only if--we can agree on a common goal, the keys, the steps, to a solution are easy enough to see: Cut admin costs: in CO alone, between 2010-2017, there was a 7% increase in students, 10% increase in teachers, and a 22% increase in administrators. Teachers are indeed professionals; pay them that way. Merit pay, lay off the under performers. Promote on accomplishments not seniority. Just like other professionals.
