I am a salaried worker in the United States. Recently the company I work for got acquired by a larger corporate entity. When this happened, our insurance changed to Aetna, which has deep restrictions on which dentists they will ensure, and my dentist is not on that list.

One of my primary anxieties is ending up with a dishonest dentist, which I see as more likely being switched to one "big enough" to be on the rather small list used by Aetna. I find this especially likely since our current plan is an HSA where most visits will end up coming out of pocket.

Do you have any resources such as blacklists of dishonest dentists known for scummy behavior?

How do you justify these views in light of evolutionary game theory, which holds that due to natural/sex selection that introducing traits between populations is universally beneficial to both populations, as deleterious traits will not find wide success, and beneficial traits will be selected for by BOTH populations?

Or in other words, how do you support the view that 'races' shouldn't mix despite the fact that evolutionary biology directly contradicts this view?

Oh... Ex. Good on you mate. I'm a blind fuck and thanks for being a better person. maybe just answer for the past tense?

What are your thoughts on the growing concentrates markets in recreational states? What is your thought on concentrate, vs Edibles, vs flowers?

I honestly hope it does not pass. One of the biggest problems for part time and even full time workers is the fact that one or more of their jobs demand 'priority scheduling' and removing a source of unscheduled labor for those people destroys their ability to do the job at all, and while it may be a fact that current 'part time' employers need to start just hiring full time positions instead, there will still be a market and demand for ala-carte work and driving jobs are particularly suited to the ala-carte work model

What are your thoughts on production of an app, or cooperation with phone manufacturers, with the goal of creating a next-generation photographic "weapon"?

I'm talking something like a system like a panic button, with the following user case:

When the owner gets the app/device, they are asked for three or four emergency contacts (email, phone, etc).

Later, when they are in a dangerous situation, instead of pulling a weapon, they pull out a phone or camera. Perhaps it is already wearable... Perhaps it is attached even to a camera drone.

Then, the device has a keypress or lockscreen button that is difficult to "butt-dial", but single-press. The camera takes a picture or starts recording video!

And then the emergency contacts get a message! @USER has triggered their photographic weapon! There are photos on their evidence/emergency box, accessible either to police, or to them as users!

If the user is intimidated to "delete the picture", they enter their panic-password or panic-pin. It shows "DELETED!"... And contacts the local police with a video stream/link/audio feed!

And all of it would end up on the cloud, first with low-res thumbnails and uploads processed middle to edge. Data rates may apply.
