Unfortunately, the state of New Orleans is no April Fools' joke! The city is past the tipping point and it's going to take all hands on deck to right this ship! I was scouring the news this week and found two articles, one that encouraged me and one that floored me. One is by the Tulane Hullabaloo and one is by WWNO respectively. The Tulane article is read in full below. It surmises that civic engagement can root out corruption. (Oh, so that's why some like division and information hoarding - I digress) The WWNO article summarizes an audit of the city's homeless efforts: I'll make it short for you. $216.3 MILLION spent from 2019 - 2024 with an increase in homelessness. I linked the article because it really is a must read because - WHAT?!?
Today at noon, I discuss both of these and breakdown our New Orleans Bill Of Rights. Did you know we had one? Well, we do. Let's review it together and see if New Orleanians are living their best life or do we already know the answer?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
