Thank you, excellent insights as usual Andrew. People concerned about losing incomes please check out edanetwork dot org because you are probably here leaning into UBI... but where is the money going to come from? If you go down our rabbit hole you will find that money itself has to change, and a few small tweaks can empower all to build a true participatory free market, far better than top-down monopoly capitalism. Own the robotics and AI quickly! Andrew can we have a brief email exchange just to make sure you understand what we are proposing? Thanks again for all you are doing!

And Dave will appreciate "The Price Of Eggs Is Down" 4th edition Amazon Kindle or Paperback with its chapter on UBI and the money supply and circulation. Love, Doc

Mmmmm I agree a little bit.

I'll never hire a personal trainer again. What I can get on the internet is superior. 30% to 50% of people are introverts, and we'd rather figure it out versus have someone watch us do reps. I go to a qualified, educated physical therapist, who provides specific guidance and then off I go. The results have been magic.

I agree brand and personality will make a big difference. Most upscale health clubs will offer Personal Trainers as a value add.

Medical professionals need to re-invent, too. I self-diagnose before talking to a doctor and have gotten much better results than submitting to tests I don't want, need, or want to pay for even if it's paid through insurance. I've avoided (thank God!) unnecessary surgery.

Teachers? Education needs to be revamped. After Covid, parents are pulling their kids out of school for family trips, educational trips, and following the child's interests without making the child conform to structure. Again, there are superior options available online - the Kahn Academy, for example. No adult or child needs to struggle through an instructor they don't connect with.

I'm excited about the future. We all have to decide where we fit in. The personal touch, personal connection, working on individual brands, and being open to accepting and creating new work brilliant ideas

Andrew sent us a helpful column today, including Noble Mobile. The public who smoke cigarettes is smaller and smaller but stopping smoking is the most effective step to can take for better health and to save money. "How To Be A Happy Former Smoker" Amazon Kindle or Paperback costs only $10 and has decades of information about how to quit and how to avoid starting again. The information is helpful about other addictions too. Love, Doc
