Today, a 2nd-year med student asked me why we can't completely clear HIV from the body like other viruses and the answer is the closest thing to a horror movie in modern medicine

I am Iranian, born and raised in Tehran.

I studied at Iran’s top school, the one academics like to call the MIT of Iran. And still, in 2019, I had to leave. Not because I wanted to, but because the Islamic Republic made life unlivable and destroyed my homeland. If you weren’t connected to the regime, you had no future. I was lucky enough to escape. Millions were not.

I came to America to study because it is the greatest country in the world. For decades, the regime poisoned minds with propaganda, calling America “the Great Satan.” But the people of Iran know the truth. They shout it in the streets:

“Our enemy is right here at home. They lie when they say it’s America.”

I love America. And I love Iran.

I am not a U.S. citizen, but if America were under attack, I would stand and fight for it. Because America matters. A strong America means a safer world. When America leads, tyrants hesitate. When America retreats, evil advances.

Today, I am asking America to stand firm against terrorism and tyranny. To show the world, once again, that evil does not get a free pass. That mass murder, repression, and terror have consequences.

I am asking America to help end the nightmare that has taken over my homeland. Not out of hatred, but out of love. Love for Iran. Love for freedom. Love for a world where my people, and everyone in the region, stop paying for silence with their blood.

America’s greatest weakness is that we don’t see other Americans as comprising a community that we need to protect and uphold.
We see other Americans as a means to our own gain.
Almost every other country in the world has a culture of community. You see it when you visit, like in the post attached.
The US is the most diverse nation in human history, but we haven’t done the work that our diversity requires.
When so much of our history is that of seeing our neighbors as capital to exploit, at both macro and micro levels, it’ll take some kind of social revolution to change our culture and economic structure if we want to live in the future that we want to see.

And this is why no amount of “budgeting” can excuse the fact that inflation is robbing us blind.

Tariff engineering is fascinating.

Take Converse Shoes: a fuzzy fabric covers large sections of the sole, but it’s not for fashion reasons.

The placement of the fuzzy material classifies the shoe as a slipper, which has a much lower import duty (<5%) than for wholly rubber sole shoes (30-40%).

Today, tariff engineering — the practice of tweaking a product to get classified in a lower duty bracket — is commonplace in apparel and toy manufacturing.

What was the first tariff engineered product in the US? Sugar imports during the end of the 19th century.

White sugar had a higher import duty than dark sugar. So, some producers coloured white sugar with molasses to get a lower rate. Courts ultimately ruled that this evasion was not allowed (should have added fuzzy fabric instead of molasses).

Have you ever wondered why some cities are just so much nicer than others?

Well, it's probably because they have good "Third Places."

What is a Third Place? It's wherever you go when you're not at home or at work...

If you come to the ER and you wait a long time (1-10+ hours) and you are wondering if we’re sorry, we are. Also none of the people one might complain to, from the registration clerk, the tech taking vital signs, the nurses, the docs or APPs, can solve the delay…

I was 3 years into being an attending physician when I found I was unhappy.

I told myself once I….

…Pay off my loans
…Buy a bigger house
…Get promoted

THAT is when I’ll be happy. Except I’d get there, and the happiness was fleeting.

This is called an Arrival Fallacy
