I'll be very clear about this: I'm not a fan of getting rid of Dodd-Frank.

If we go into space, we need enhancements that handle radiation and osteoporosis... or else we're dead. So what seems like an enhancement in one generation becomes life and death in another generation.

I like to travel and connect.
