Headlines From The Times - Disabled and pregnant? Good luck finding a doctor

Disabled people get pregnant and give birth at the same rates as nondisabled ones. But their outcomes are often far worse — for reasons that can’t be explained by anatomical difference or medical complexity — and modern medicine has largely turned its back on them.

L.A. Times Metro reporter Sonja Sharp has experienced the discrimination firsthand, and she’s reported on the issue as well.

Today, she speaks with Dr. Marie Flores, a physician who uses a wheelchair and is trying to become a mother, and Dr. Deborah Krakow, the chair of UCLA’s obstetrics and gynecology department, about how our society treats the intersection of pregnancy and disability. She also shares her own story and describes why she sees disabled motherhood as a radical act.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Flu into a rage: Brazil’s Bolsonaro inquiry

President Jair Bolsonaro’s early dismissal of the pandemic as “a little flu” presaged a calamitous handling of the crisis. We ask how a congressional investigation’s dramatic assessment of his non-actions may damage him. China’s test of a hypersonic, nuclear-capable glider may rattle the global weapons order. And our obituaries editor reflects on the life of level-headed American statesman Colin Powell.

What Next - What Next | Daily News and Analysis – TBD | Honey, I Sold the House to Zillow

Between April and June of this year, Zillow bought nearly 4,000 homes. And they had no intention of holding onto them. The plan was to flip houses, often and at scale, joining the ranks of companies like Opendoor and Offerpad, also known as iBuyers. 


So, why did Zillow put their plans on pause last weekend? Can online middlemen really change the way we buy and sell houses?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 Bonus: Ryan Johnson, CallRail

Ryan Johnson is originally from Saginaw, Michigan, and now lives in Atlanta. He never imagined he would get into tech. In fact, when he was growing up he wanted to be an orthodontist. He got into school, and immediately saw how difficult the classes were going to be. So he switched to business, and that part of school stuck and came naturally to him. As a college elective, he took computer science as an elective (who does that?). He brags that his computer science professor still has the mortgage calculator program on hand (and it still works). Post college, he worked as a broker for Equitable, as a financial advisor, and then supported law firm with their SEO. Eventually, he got into product and is still leading the charge there.

He is married, and has 2 young daughters, both in grade school. He loves to travel, and hopes to make that more of a regular thing as the pandemic slows down. He has an affinity for all things automotive as well, and has been into racing most of his life. Though he loves cars, he really prefers just to watch... and not wrench on them.

Ryan joined the his current company many years ago, and was charged to build a team to expand the companies call tracking functionality... to essentially, make it omni channel, with form, source and message tracking.

This is the creation story of CallRail.
