Was wondering if there are any billionaires who would like to quickly step up and fund an experiment of the science, education, and health system we really want. Plenty of top talent in the U.S. ready to go. As a model for scaling up when we’re out of this mess.

About 1000 years ago, Taino people spent quite a lot of effort carving symbols of life (as spirals) and coqui frogs into this amazing rock at la Piedra Escrita, next to a gorgeous swimming hole in the mountains of Puerto Rico.
