Nolabels

There is a new political caucus and group that claims to be for fixing our problems. It's called the Problem Solvers Caucus. It's led by a group called No Labels. I think it warrants some investigation, especially as I track the rise of the Second Progressive Era, it's funny how many references they make to events 100 years ago.

Ex.  On an earlier version of their 'Speaker Project' page they referenced how Progressive Republicans broke the rules for the election of the Speaker in 1912, and had a progressive Speaker of the House elected. This paved the way for a lot of the future reforms.

And so the age old apothecary, or the druggist, or what we now call the pharmacist, had to change as well. This is the transition period between "your mom makes you chew willow bark for pain" to "you use medically prescribed aspirin in a tablet." With all the new innovations, but with all the folk remedies still around, and the new global transportation network, pharmacies wanted to stay ahead of the game. This was the era that radium was painted on watch faces. And children's toys because it glows. So don't get

Today on LinkedIN I learned the three most interesting facts since joining that website two or three years ago. 1. Our economy is looking like the Roaring Twenties . Income inequality is high, but the real fear is the declining population due to rising education rates (and the corresponding drop in replacement rates) will cause a housing bubble pop. This will be like 2008 but much much worse. 2. We can vaccinate mice against Lyme disease so that the ticks have less Lyme disease to spread when they bite you. We feed them MnM like kibble so that they can get the vaccine into their body without having to hunt them down and inject them. #vaccineswork https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccinating-mice-may-finally-slow-lyme-disease/ \ 3.
