Gamestop stocks surging in price and hedge funds losing money have been making serious headlines lately. A group of individuals, cooresponding through Reddit, took on hedge fund bets and made serious news in a battle in the stock market. How did they arrive at such a point? What are the implications of running up such numbers? Was it ever a good investment?

The fall out of January 6th is still happening. A handful of companies have halted their political donations to verify that the politicans they will donate to will reflect their interests. I see this as a good time to exercise the question of what some people may want what they may do to achieve their goals.

I've been hearing so much talk about a request for a public option for healthcare, and decided to take a dive into why we have insurance, to the benefits of it, and look into things like the U.K.'s and Canada's NHS and compare it to what we have here in the States.

On January 6, 2021, when Congress was to meet to accept the Electoral College votes to certify Joe Biden as President-Elect, a Trump rally turned chaotic. As days have passed and more information becomes available, how do we judge and compare of things we witnessed and heard on January 6th and then days after?

We have made it through 2020! I'd like to take a few minutes to reflect on things we have experienced in this last year.

The song from Chicago feels like perfect imagry for our situation in medicine. An unknown distance from
current to where it should be. From thereaputics to the vaccine. From "2 weeks to flatten the curve" to
we still need to be shut down for [insert reason here]. From which doctors we're allowed to trust and
who to question or not.

From the hand shredding of ballots, to unauthorized updates of voting systems, to not updating voter registration roles. We have some issues across our country in terms of instilling trust in our elections. How do we bring things forward under a collective to find and fix problems that seemed to have plauged our 2020 election process?
