"Go do it. Show up to work. Show up to work with an American Just drop it at your desk. Watch what happens. So you would tell us who's really being oppressed. Thanks for watching. Let me be clear, man. Because I believe in something liberals own. I am a passionate advocate for free speech. I own a good chunk of Rumble If you want to go on Rumble and start a gay pride channel, I'll be the first one to advocate for your right to do it. I don't manage the platform. I'm just an equity holder, but I own a good chunk of it. I'll be the first one. I'll be the first one to say go right ahead. I may disagree with some of your positions, but I'm not a fraud. I respect your right to speak out, even if I disagree. That's free what speech is about. I'll put my money and my reputation behind it and I'll do my best as long as you don't break the terms of service or the law and nobody will take you down or deplatform you. Even if I passionately and vigorously disagree with you, I show up at your office and drop an American flag on and a stick a cup.

Everyone should do that. I think we should start today. to You want do a little something small? Take a risk, man.

No kidding: California overtime law threatens use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires
"And overtime law in California could threaten the use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires. The park supervisor in West Sacramento, Jason Pablo, uses hundreds of goats to munch on long blades of yellow grass in the city. Essentially, mow those down to reduce the fire risk for the upcoming dry season. But new state labor regulations in California are making it more expensive for goat grazing services like Tim Aerosmith's company to operate. We can not fix the current legislation. We will be forced to sell these goats to slaughter and to the option yards. And we'll be forced out of business and probably filed for bankruptcy. Goat herders would be subject to the same labor laws as other farm workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent on putting out fires, very little has been spent on fire prevention. The changes at goat grazing workers would be entitled to overtime. I'm Ed Donahue.

Humanitarian group MSF calls for support for refugees in Kenya affected by cholera crisis
"Refugees in Kenya's dadaab camps are believed to have been hit by a cholera outbreak as the population in the facilities grows rapidly. Doctors Without Borders says 2786 refugees have been affected so far, and that there's an imminent risk of outbreaks of other gastrointestinal diseases that adapt camps, host more than 300,000 people and with a biting drought in neighboring Somalia, the numbers are on the rise, straining water and sanitation services. In 2016, the Kenyan government had announced plans to shut the camps over concerns that extremists from Somalia's Al shabab group were hiding there making the camps a conduit for smuggling weapons, but the United Nations had urged Kenya to reconsider the plan and continue to offer refuge to victims of violence and trauma. There are plans to open another camp in the complex to accommodate new arrivals and ease overcrowding. I'm Lawrence Brooks

FTX CEO's Legal Billings Hint at Comeback for the Exchange
"It wouldn't be a Taco Tuesday without referencing some insanity regarding FTX. FTX's CEO's legal billings continue to hint at 2 .0 and now we've got something from the New York Times and I've actually got a hot take about this. Oh, I get to do the hot take first? Okay. So my hot take is that I actually think, and again, you guys are not financial guys, I think that the reboot of FTX is going to actually be a good thing. FTX really had a lot of great products and services that were available. However, they had absolute trash management. And I think if a mature responsible adult can actually take the money and be transparent, not use customer funds for weird things, then I think that the platform does have some sort of chance to do well. That sounds like creditor talk. It does not sound like it. No, I'm actually, I am an FTX US creditor, but I'm being serious. They really had great products and services. And one thing that Sam did well was he was able to communicate to his audience and pull or integrate things that they wanted, which was good. However, they just were scammers behind the scenes. So it sucks. So I don't know, maybe there will be some sort of good that comes out of this. Either way, I'm probably not going to touch it. And I'm not going to tell my audience about it. Did the things work though, Wendy? I mean, we don't have FTX here in Canada, but I heard they didn't really work all that well. They did. They did. Okay. A lot of users really like the interface. Like the UI on FTX was like pretty slick, et cetera. I don't think it's really going to happen. I mean, I think he's exploring all avenues, right? Because JJ Ray, the third, his mandate is to give as much money back to creditors as possible. And if this is a possibility for doing so, then sure, put some billable hours on there and indicate that you're at least thinking about it. Whether or not this will actually happen, I guess I'm a little bit less optimistic on this ever coming to pass, but this is the man's job. He's out there to make sure that people can get their money back to the best of his ability. And I think the fact that he's considering this is interesting. Maybe it's a bit little outside the box thinking, but bringing this back in some form may ultimately bring revenue in the door that could make creditors whole. So credit's in for thinking it, but I don't, I don't see it happening.

"On top of a kind of a new framework. And so to bootstrap our own platform, we just ended up building the first service on top of this platform. So we asked the question, suppose we had this cool restating platform bootstrapped and it has a lot of staking and it has a lot of trust that comes into it. How can we leverage it in providing some new innovative use case that solves some core problems in the Ethereum ecosystem? So this ended up being the data availability project that we are building on top of eigen layer. The data availability project is basically asking the following track to solve the following question in the Ethereum ecosystem. Coming from a wireless background that was my PhD in peer to peer wireless systems. I think a lot about bandwidth and as a kind of a fundamental metric. And because my mental model for crypto is it is a cooperation infrastructure or a cooperation superhighway. And if you want to build cooperation infrastructure, the core consideration is, what is the cooperation bandwidth?

"first service" Discussed on Epicenter
"With things like zero knowledge rollups. And the one thing we see in ZK rollups today is they wait for a long time to batch because of the verification costs. And you don't need to do it, and you can have a bridge which moves data between the role of an Ethereum every block. If you had a layer like this. Going to your broader question on things like IBC and the external ecosystem, I can layer close similarity with what is called interchange security, which is basically one chain providing security to other chains. I think there are a couple of important differences interchange security as it is being talked about today is the provider chain has to have a governance upgrade to opt in to serve this other chain. And just working in this space for enough time, anything that has a governance upgrade and like, okay, that's too slow. So I like the nature of what we are doing with eigen layer, which is basically validator level opt in. Permissionless each validator make a decision and opt in. I think it reduces frictions massively. And the second thing is the way we think about what should be built on eigen layer, which is more of a subjective opinion, but I think it aligns deeply with the Ethereum landscape is to build modules, each module being secured by the same stake. Rather than to build chains, which is what interchange security is optimizing for. Okay, to add to your last question about IBC in particular. IBC is inter blockchain communication is the standard for talking between different blockchains. I think we need a powerful IBC port for Ethereum. And I'd be very excited to see people build something like that, for example, on because what you can do is once you have stakeholders opt in, you can verify signatures from all these IBC connected chains and just make an economic certificate saying that, yeah, we all know that this is the set of signatures in these other chains. So that's an example for how what can be built on icon. Thanks for expanding so far into it. I think we're also been at it for a while. I think we can slowly get to kind of wrapping up maybe for the final question we can talk a little bit about where the project is at right now. I mean, we talked a lot about what is theoretically possible. Maybe we can hear a bit where are you at right now? What's on the road map, like the Nvidia future the way we building eigenvector is initially we are building the first service ourselves and on launch that will only be the one service, the data availability service, we are building on top of it. And we want to slowly open it up from one service platform to a few partner services to then to be a self serve platform on which anybody can come and build anything that they want. So we'll see the first service launch hopefully mid next year. And then we'll have a whole bunch of other services on board in the months following. So that's the road map right now. We are in internal testnet. We have a few integrations. We are testing inside the internal test. So that's where we are. And we'll hope to have a more public facing testnet in the months between now and launch. Fantastic, we look forward to that. It's been an absolute pleasure to have you on free ram. I have learned a lot. This is such an interesting project. I'm excited to see where this takes you. Thank you so much for I've had a really, really enjoyed talking to you and selects on this.

"Cloud. That's been great for one service provider. We're talking about NetApp. The company recently reported earnings and sales that beat Wall Street estimates that as the storage and data management company saw continued demand across segments that defied supply chain and currency challenges. NetApp CEO George curry joined me in Bloomberg's Paul Sweeney to talk about the latest quarter, as well as look ahead at what's next for the company. We are excited. We're off to a great start to our new fiscal year. We just completed the first fiscal quarter of the year. And so broad based demand and strength across all our geographies. We have set record highs pretty much across the board in terms of revenue, billings, gross margin dollars, operating margin dollars in EPS for Q one. So I'm really pleased, it's always good to get off to a good start in the year. Yeah, absolutely. That's a great way, better than the alternative. Paul did break down some of your numbers. Your customer base has included the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, alphabet, Hitachi, Intel, Tata. It's global in nature. It really gives us a good clue in terms of what's going on in the economy. How would you describe in terms of more color, demand for your core products from your big customers? We are involved in helping our customers store protect and use their data for business advantage. We do that not only with data center equipment for their data centers, but as you mentioned with cloud based services that are deeply integrated into the world's leading cloud providers, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM and others. And we saw a really good portfolio balance across all of our geographies and customer segments. Data as you know is foundational to competitive advantage, understanding customers, working with your supply chain, and so on. And so we continue to see demand strong and we've had to work really hard to have all the supply to meet it. And we continue to do that work. Talk to us about the supply chain. It's been such an issue for so many businesses across so many parts of the economy and it's a global issue here. How is it for your company now versus maybe a year or two ago and kind of how do you think it's going to progress? I think a year ago was the really difficult time. We've seen kind of steady improvements in silicon availability and I would say cautiously that we've seen stabilization in terms of the silicon supply chain. It's still not where it is needed to be to meet all of our demand, but at least it's stopped backsliding. We have also been doing work to deal with some of the freight and logistical challenges. I think as the gap between demand and supply continues to get a little bit smaller, we demand still ahead of supply. We hope that these things get better over the course of our next 12 months. Well, I do wonder, I do wonder to George how did supply chain issues or pressures or constraints impact your ability to in terms of your adjustments or your outlook or raising your outlook estimates for the full year? You know, I think we have had to do a huge amount of work to be able to meet demand. We've had to re-engineer products. We have to source supply in multiple parts of the world and sort of extraordinary measures to meet demand. I would say that backlog is still ahead of pre-pandemic levels. So we're still in elevated sort of backlog situations and we'd love to be able to sort of make those products available to customers. We're working closely with our suppliers to do that. We did in our press release reconfirm the full year guidance, which given the currency movement subsequent to when we guided is actually taking up guidance as you noted by about one or two points. So we feel good about demand. We feel that we've got to go do the work in supply and continue to do the work to meet it. So George, I love from your perspective, where is the biggest source of growth for your business here over the next 5 years? I'm going to ask you to think a little bit far out, which I know you're bored asked you to do occasionally, but on a 5 year plan, you're in so many pieces of the pie that are having some really strong growth dynamics. Where do you really think your focus should be? We really see the two big transformational trends are data driven business or digital business and cloud. We on the data side, we help our clients store aggregate enormous amounts of data, whether it's for traditional applications, like an ERP or you mentioned Salesforce, those kinds of applications or for the really modern advanced analytics and artificial intelligence applications we, for example, work with companies like Siemens, health and ears, which makes medical imaging systems and we use AI technology together with huge amounts of data to be able to make the life of a radiologist much easier. We can predict help them predict which patients are more likely to have COVID or find cost effective ways to deal with breast cancer and so on. So that's one data and the other is cloud. You know, you see there's a vast migration of customers to using cloud based technologies and we help all of the leading cloud providers as well as their end customers to make their cloud projects much more reliable performance secured, especially security of data from attacks like ransomware is a growing trend that we have really good solutions for. Carol, I think I'm even in the cloud. I know I am. You know, if I'm in the cloud, it's a thing. It's a market. So George, I'm looking at our PGE O function on the Bloomberg terminal that allows me to look at breakdown of your businesses by lots of different measures. And by geography, I see that yeah, a little more than half of your business is in the U.S. and the kind of Latin America, maybe about a third, 30% in Europe and about 14% in Asia. Going forward, where regionally will you be allocating more of your capital? Where do you see more growth on a regional basis? We continue to focus on the biggest markets in each of those geographies. I think several years ago about maybe 5 or 6 years ago, we decided to participate in the China market, which is the largest Asian market through a joint venture with Lenovo that allows us to serve the vast expanse of Chinese customers with local partnerships and local knowledge of the local market. So the rest of the world we serve through our own sales and go to market organization and through partners. And

It really gives us a good clue in terms of what's going on in the economy. How would you describe in terms of more color, demand for your core products from your big customers? We are involved in helping our customers store protect and use their data for business advantage. We do that not only with data center equipment for their data centers, but as you mentioned with cloud based services that are deeply integrated into the world's leading cloud providers, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM and others. And we saw a really good portfolio balance across all of our geographies and customer segments. Data as you know is foundational to competitive advantage, understanding customers working with your supply chain and so on. And so we continue to see demand strong and we've had to work really hard to have all the supply to meet it. And we continue to do that work. Talk to us about the supply chain. It's been such an issue for so many businesses across so many parts of the economy and it's a global issue here. How is it for your company now versus maybe a year or two ago and kind of how do you think it's going to progress? I think a year ago was the really difficult time we've seen kind of steady improvements in silicon availability and I would say cautiously that we've seen stabilization in terms of the silicon supply chain. It's still not where it is needed to be to meet all of our demand, but at least it's stopped backsliding. We have also been doing work to deal with some of the freight and logistical challenges. I think as the gap between demand and supply continues to get a little bit smaller, we demand still ahead of supply. We hope that these things get better over the course of our next 12 months. Well, I do wonder, I do wonder to George how did supply chain issues or pressures or constraints impact your ability to in terms of your adjustments or your outlook or raising your outlook estimates for the full year? You know, I think we have had to do a huge amount of work to be able to meet demand. We've had to re-engineer products, we have to source supply in multiple parts of the world and sort of extraordinary measures to meet demand. I would say that backlog is still ahead of pre-pandemic levels. So we're still in elevated sort of backlog situations and we'd love to be able to sort of make those products available to customers. We're working closely with our suppliers to do that. We did in our press release reconfirm the full year guidance, which given the currency movement subsequent to when we guided is actually taking up guidance as you noted by about one or two points. So we feel good about demand. We feel that we've got to go do the work and supply and continue to do the work to meet it. So George, I love from your perspective, where is the biggest source of growth for your business here over the next 5 years? I'm going to ask you to think a little bit far out, which I know you're bored asked you to do occasionally, but on a 5 year plan, you're in so many pieces of the pie that are having some really strong growth dynamics. Where do you really think your focus should be? We really see the two big transformational trends are data driven business or digital business and cloud. We on the data side, we help our clients store aggregate enormous amounts of data, whether it's for traditional applications, like an ERP or you mentioned Salesforce, those kinds of applications or for the really modern advanced analytics and artificial intelligence applications we, for example, work with companies like Siemens, south and ears, which makes medical imaging systems and we use AI technology together with huge amounts of data to be able to make the life of a radiologist much easier. We can predict help them predict which patients are more likely to have COVID or find cost effective ways to deal with breast cancer and so on. So that's one data and the other is cloud. You see there's a vast migration of customers to using cloud based technologies and we help all of the leading cloud providers as well as their end customers to make their cloud projects much more reliable performance secured, especially security of data from attacks like ransomware is a growing trend that we have really good solutions for. Carol, I think I'm even in the cloud. I know I am. If I'm in the cloud, it's a thing. It's a market. So George, I'm looking at our PGE O function on the Bloomberg terminal that allows me to look at breakdown of your businesses by lots of different measures. And by geography, I see that, yeah, a little more than half of your business is in the U.S. and the kind of Latin America, maybe about a third, 30% in Europe and about 14% in Asia. Going forward, where regionally will you be allocating more of your capital? Where do you see more growth on a regional basis? We continue to focus on the biggest markets in each of those geographies. I think several years ago about maybe 5 or 6 years ago, we decided to participate in the China market, which is the largest Asian market through a joint venture with Lenovo that allows us to serve the vast expanse of Chinese customers with local partnerships and local knowledge of the local market. So the rest of the world we serve through our own sales and go to market organization and through partners. And

"To be able to service the property property, So it makes it their decision a little easier at that point, and they go through. Uh, they should go through an interview process. So now they're going through the interview process. You've got to decide on the contractors. So your board of directors or the owner or the facility manager is now going to. He's heard from these contractors, and now he's they have to make a decision, right? Decisions should be based on the most responsive responsible. Better makes sense. Okay, so that's very important. Remember that terminology? It should not be based on price right? It should not be based on The guy's a nice guy, or was a nice person in general. Well, that that might be like the final decider, though. Everything else being equal, right? Yes, spice if everything is equal. And you like the prices, and now it's a little bit of a personality thing. Then you can take you could say okay, I like I felt like connected with that company more than I connected with the other two companies that came in for the bed. Absolutely. But if they didn't meet certain criterias Don't pick them just because they were nicer or the price was cheaper. So now you now we're on the eighth, the eighth role and I put 12 rules together for a reason. These are the 12 rules that I think are the most important things when You're going to bid and I have to live by this myself. You know, a lot of times we have, uh, fuel vendors that come. We have certain vendors are going to come to our property. We give them a a A list the same way that I'm doing here and RP. What? What is my requirements, So it's very important, but Now that you've chosen your your contractor at this point, you are going to have to terminate your previous contractor, right? And so sometimes they have 30 days or 60 days. So you're gonna have to let you know the the your current contractor know that they're losing the property or or maybe they were rewarded the property so they're going to get it back. So then you don't have to go through this process. But if they are losing the property, your new contractor should be given a start date when he is expected to start the property so he can ramp up his business. Uh, appropriately to be able to start the property. Sure. Uh, number nine. On the list is, uh, get the community requirements, you know, Make sure they understand. Uh, you know, whatever rules of the property as they can they they have to park in a certain location. Uh, they have that certain gate codes. They have to have entry authorization through security. So you know when their trucks pull up security knows that they can be led into the property. They have to have any keys for facilities. This is very important. If you know if so, the workers have a place to go to the bathroom or place to go Sit down and eat. Well, sure. Yeah, absolutely. I mean where I live where I live. There's a clubhouse, for example. But you need to have a key to get in there. Exactly. And you know a lot of times we're here you know, from our community will be bidding on a property all the worker, you know, he got caught going to the bathroom and some bushes in the back. And so, you know, we try to explain to the properties. It's very important that we have these keys prior to starting the property. We know the rules of the property when Should we not access something? You know, different things are important. You know, different properties have different rules. And so you know, we that criteria should be very important that it's given to your new contractor. So you're not disappointed, you know, two months into the service. That certain things are not being done the way you would want to have done then the next thing is, and this is very important. I can't tell you how many times we've started a new property, and no one from the community shows up to see us start the property. I think it's very important that you meet whether you're the property manager. Or maybe you have a landscape committee. For the community, Uh, meet the the contractor on his first service call. And make sure everything runs smooth for him. Did he park in the right spots? Is he not blocking an area? Uh, did security have them on the list? So there's no there's no hold ups on me Try to make it as smooth for both sides. Remember, It's a partnership when you're hiring somebody on your property, and I always I think that's really important member Europe. You're now a partner. You know, that's that's right. You're paying for a service. They're providing a service, right? So make sure you show up on that first service call and at the end of the day, maybe come back and do an inspection. So of something didn't fall into the criteria that you want it. You can discuss it right away so they can correct it before the next service call comes Number 11 during the inspection when you so now you did the word you're doing that at final inspection, you know, Make sure you take notes. Is there anything that was that you discovered during the first service call that you don't have in your current contract. You found a dead tree. They cleaned out an area and there was a when they cleaned out all the vines. There was very little plants left so united need to replace some plants, you know, get the estimates and ask your provider the provide estimates for that. And if there was any corrections, make sure it's put in writing to the contractor. And if the contractor also is starting the property and he didn't receive the keys, he should be putting a riding. That he needed those keys, and he didn't receive it prior to the first service call or on the day of the first service call, so just make sure that everybody's on the same page and everybody's working well together. And then the 12th and most important part that I think is really, really important is that you should have the prior the provider come at least twice a year. To a border director meeting or or beat the owner of the business and talk about a state of the property kind of the state of the union. Uh, the state of the property. Okay, where we at on the property. Is there were getting ready for the budget for next year. Uh, I just worked with my heart on the budget for next year on stuff that we're going to be doing and what we're going to be providing it's all in writing all you know, we're going to be working on some more landscape projects. And it's all in writing and you have an opportunity to sit down and discuss these things with your your board, and now they're looking at their budget going, okay? And we're going to have to add to the budget, or can we move something to next year? Or maybe we spent more last year, and this year we can focus the money in a different direction and re landscape. The back interests of the property now where we re landscape the front entrance last year, so it's really good to bring the contractor and to sit down and talk with the board. Uh, the decision makers always called decision making, whether it's Water directors are the owner of a property or the operation or facility manager. That's really important. So and I How do you verify your current companies that you currently may have? That may you know that you want to know. Do they really have the license? Because I didn't go through this process when I originally higher and the easiest place to go if you go on to Broward County Tax search, Yes, you go into business tax. It says property or business tax click on business but their name in there, Okay, it'll pop up all their license. That they have. Do they have a landscape maintenance license, An irrigation license, a pest control license or Ann Arbor Care, tree trimming license. Alright, it will have it in their Miami Dade has the same thing. It's Miami Dates tax system, it looks Miami Dade adopted what Broward County was doing looks very similar. When you punch it up, and Palm Beach is a little bit different. It's it's a Palm Beach county tax dot com, um magnetron dot com. And that you can go on there and you can see again punch it in And then obviously you want to go to some biz dot org to see if there are corporation.

Failing in years in a cloud environment a hard drive failure at worst looks like a very brief latency spike on. What is something that you're working on and that's it and you have to be looking forward and know what it is. Yeah that's all that it is it's just purely under the hood. Api driven magic for lack of a better term. That's talk about that real quick. That is one of the most. I guess i don't know if people even think about this but this is by far one of the most amazing services that i really don't know if people give credit for and maybe it's just because of our legacy thought process around what a hard drive is right so rewind ten years ago or so they had ups and you know they would say attach a hard drive to your virtual machine like those are the terminology that we're using and sure it made sense. You're like sure i've got i coming. From the vm. Where world right. And i have a hard drive on the host and i'm gonna connect to this guest or other virtual hard drive on the host and i'm going to connect to the guests whatever and that was kind of a similar thought process and there's always ways around. I think you know where you could spin up a volume and you to write to the volume to like get full access to the does right. I think you kind of mentioned that earlier but fast forward to now. I've got some e bs attached to my server. There's all kinds of ups now there's gp two gb three. I o volumes. I mean there is a volume for probably almost every workload. Dare i say every workload. But what's amazing is how you now have this ability to dynamically. Change the underlying of your server without downtime without restarting services restarting servers anymore. You can say wow. This volume is over provisioned. I'm going to downsides to another one. Or god i give my evs volume at ninety. Nine percent. on. My cassandra cluster. And i can't move this data off of it and the data won't stop coming in you. Add more extend the volume. I mean that is such a unbelievable thought that we can do that now. Back to your point of the data center role of like how would we do it back then like we would have to. I don't know shove more hard drives in the sand and hope there was room or something. I mean it's just it quickly move the data off the stuff hoping that like you know you can do it. I mean it's just it's so fascinating that click button make bigger and taking the object store story as well and everyone likes to argue with me on this one. But i'm gonna play this game. It has infinite storage bacon by hard drives faster than you can put data on it. And i'm also willing to bet that they can buy more hard-right is then. I can afford to fill. That is just a general direction. I'm taking things in. I'm probably right on that point. Look i mean they're dealing at a level of scale with us three. That has not occurred before. I mean it. Just it's so mind boggling. I'd love to spend you know a day with the s three team in a room where no recording where they can. Just talk about that scale because it may be unfathomable right. But i would say when i came out which was and i think. There's a lot of like debate out there right cory. What was the first service was s. Three was it s q s. I always thought it was s. Three but i feel like that goes back and forth. It depends on who you're talking to. The first service in beta was simple queuing service the first service in general availability was s three. And if you get the leaders of both of those teams in a room there will be an argument and you get to watch the tennis match. Go back and forth and just sit there and enjoy the moment that ever happens to you. I gotta remember that one. That's a good one for the future. Fiber ever run into that situation. I remember what s three came out for. The first time you know hearing about it and i didn't get it like it just didn't make sense to me. I guess my brain couldn't compute that that term. It's not a file it's not a block. What the hell is an and store. And why would. I want one of those. I had a san. I had file stores right. I had a file server for my files. It was a file share. I had loans on my san that. I would connect to exchange servers right so i'd like block store. I understood that concept files. But i just i could not wrap my brain around it for the longest time. It was again like to your point. I think you said earlier. They're really bad at telling stories. That i think was there like i like scenario of them being bad italian stories because like the people who really got it like this founder friend of mine who started sonia. He saw three. I was like. Oh wow this is a game changer. Thing and here's all the reasons. Why and i know a lot of other people out there as well and obviously a lot of those people went on to build some pretty awesome things but yeah it's so funny looking back. I still remember that to this day. Hearing about it and go in like but what is an object what that mean just yeah it's fascinating to see how far we've come. It really is. And i can forgive you and other small companies looking at this thing. I don't get what's the point. That's fine but the thing that surprises me and the reason that we're talking about aws as the eight hundred pound gorilla in the space is because for almost five full years after they launched there was no other competition. People made fun of it but microsoft was basically asleep at the wheel. Google was too busy building and then turning off google reader. Whatever it is. They're up to.

Medicaid and Medicare. Do not reimburse at a level at which you can say if I do more things, I'm going to make more money. It's just simple math. A 2018 study by the Rand Corporation found that for every dollar Medicare pays hospitals First service private insurance gives them almost 2 50. For the exact same service. Medicaid pays even less, and those government dollars don't cover the hospital's actual costs. The 2 50, on the other hand, covers things quite well. The result is that over the past 20 years for profit, and even some nonprofit hospitals have leverage the 2 50 into some of the largest profits the industry has ever seen.

"Can order it sounds fine, and it's the title loving and living your way through grief. Right now. One thing that I thought was so inspiring. I went to do you remember Jack Lalane? He was, you know, we have the original finish l on TV for 34 years and he was America's godfather of fitness invented some of the machines that everybody uses in the modern day health. Clever, Jim. But anyway, you know, he was a guest. I mean, I was fortunate to Time for over 30 years and he was always there. First steps of the orbit. In any case when I went to his memorial service, hey lived until he was 96 years old and past 2011. But one thing I thought was so inspiring was when it was actually before the service, But we Arnold gave the eulogy. Schwarzenegger gave one of the main eulogy. But when I got an E mail for the details regarding Jax Celebration of life had the location and time and charities if you wanted to donate and so on, but below the body of information was a line that read, and I quote And please extend your work out an extra hour and memory of Jack. You know, he never, you know, And by the way, he was buried with one of his dumb bells and any lane, his widow who we had on last month for her birthday or 94th birthday. She has other dumb bell. But anyway, that that just gives you Uh, any indication on how the determination and the devotion and discipline that he had throughout his life he really practiced what he preached. And he he always remember. People would call in to the show live when we have him on. And, uh, like elderly women would call. You know, Jack, I used to love watching you on TV. And he say, What did you do the exercises and say, Well, no, I watched you do the exercises, and then we'll know that he didn't give anybody any slack, You know? I mean, even when I made a birthday cake for him, he said, No, No, that's sugar. No, I don't want any. Any part of that. You know, I mean, n any case. What I'm getting at is That celebration of life. You can turn it into a positive It doesn't have to be like you were mentioning earlier. All sadness and, of course, tears. They're gonna be shed. And I mean, it goes without saying that The losses is not something that anybody looks forward to a Zafar as losing a loved one or a friend's or business associate or whoever it is. But by the same token, I I think it's e don't see funerals. That's often now as I used to, and I see more celebrations of life, don't you? Don't you find that to be the case as well? I do, too, And I think that's such a positive way of dealing with things that what we had to services for Ron and my husband before him shock on the mainland. We owned a live theater, and we did his theater as kind of the theater production with it was amazing. That's creative. Yeah, It was really, really cool and actor, good friend that we knew who was also a physician, Um, scripted the service to the play our time and he played, uh Stage manager and wove everything through the service with the singers from the theater that would come up in his grandchildren, who are professional museum musicians came up in an hour late and It was really pretty amazing. And then first service we have here on the island with an ash scattering service, and it was so beautiful And as I said, I didn't know that many people at the time, but everybody that I knew our gardeners are housekeepers, the doctors Everybody came and from their yard and no and came okay. I did the service for us on a Y in the people that didn't know, run spoke And then we all got in canoes and World way out in the water, and, uh, sprinkled the flowers and the ashes at the same time. Uh, yeah, Beautiful. Yeah, that's that's really something, you know. Let's let's shift from celebrations of life to talk about the necessity of self care. Now you often hear about people caring for loved ones, especially those with dementia and Alzheimer's. They're carrying for, you know they're a caregiver for relatives. A relative, and they neglect their own health as a result of having to care for somebody else's somebody else's health and well being, And so you mentioned Writing yourself a letter Aziz self talk and talk about if you would sell the importance of self care is well, a self talk in a situation like that. It's so important because it's easy to get into a loop of negative self talk, You know, like this only had done this there on Lee. We went to the doctor sooner only something and that doesn't help anything TB in that negative loop. So it's important to switch things around to will. We did do all these good things and whatever it was, it was good, and we did have a good time to spend together, so focusing it. Switching yourself talk, really helped and writing a letter is it's kind of a way of self talk, especially if you've been being a little challenged with what you're saying to yourself about the situation. And give us a few examples of what you would put in the letter. I would say something like, um I know how hard you work to take good care of your loved one. Yeah, I know that You weren't paying that much attention to yourself in the process. I know you didn't get enough sleep. I know you weren't eating. Well, I know you weren't exercising like you should have been because your whole life was focused. When your loved one Yes, all the time that that you can focus on you. And so it's important. Let's let's every day Let's take a walk every day. Let's eat something really good and healthy. Every day. Write in your journals. Something wonderful. Something that brought you joy the day before something that you're grateful for every day. Yeah, so that you're being like a coach.

Let's go to anonymous calling from Washington D. C. Our nation's capital. Anonymous. You're on the Chris Plante show, Chris. Good morning. I love your show, and I wanted to share a conversation I had. I flew in recently on a commercial flight into a Reagan national, and I was sitting next to a National guardsman. At first I want to compliment Him on his service. I think the first service and then ask him if he was coming for duty or vacation. He said. No, I'm gonna be guarding the capital. And I said, Well, how are you going to do that, do you? You guys even have guns And he said, Oh, yeah way can't check him on the airliner. The airlines have a restriction on bringing guns, even for military, But they got around that by borrowing A C 1 30.
