I think you’re right about the crony system. I can’t say for sure, because I’ve never been a crony. But I see a lot of stuff that just doesn’t add up otherwise. Real head scratchers. Back in the late 90’s the joke was “Wanted: Java programmers. 10 years experience necessary.” The irony being Java wasn’t 10 years old, not even close!

Being in the habit to hustle will pay off when the economy turns.

I just want to mention, in addition to Healthy San Francisco, also note that Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose provides medical care to anyone regardless of ability to pay. I went there at times when I was in-between jobs and had no insurance, and they never charged me for anything. Here's the link: http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/scvmc I'm definitely a fan of this hospital and its policy of actually treating people as human beings, instead of as commodities. It's a model of how medical facilities should work, but unfortunately, it's very rare to find a resource like this in our country. Hey bro, how’s it going?
