The number of individuals using the marijuana has grown tremendously throughout the years as it has come under increasing positive light. The number of dispensaries selling medical marijuana have also grown since State Regulations have eased the utilization of marijuana for those in pain, however many of these dispensaries are having a hard time with banks to take their money. Many banks will refuse to take dispenssaries money and will not provide any line of credit to these institutions because they fear many of these dispensaries will use their stores as a means to sell marijuana recreationally which is illegal.  Marijuana Dispensaries are the one's with this problem as it means many of these dispensaries will not be able to open a line of credit and must keep their cash in a locked vault within the dispensaries. If someone could open gofundme lines of credit for dispensaries they could become the online bankers to dispensaries through cryptocurrencies.

DOGS DOGS DOGS. They are truly mans best friend but often times they're are many who do not have any homes and when many of these dogs can not find a home, they are put down. The proposal is to use a portion of government spending to increase the number of shelters and hope that they may also end the legislation allowing for the killing of domesticated animals when they do not have any homes to be placed in. This allows many new homes to be built, veterinarians  to open different practices for caring for these and providing new homes for them.

Hurricane Irma devastated major parts of Miami and caused road closures as well as electrical outages in major parts of the city, these areas became unreachable for quite some time, and many elderly homes were not  checked during the storm an for a week after the storm, many elderly individuals died due to this massive oversight and inability to access the patient. This presents itself as a wonderful opportunity to integrate some sort of cellular app which can alert care takers on the condition of patients when disasters strike and the care taker may be separated from the patient, this issue plagues most ill patients most specifically harmful to babies and elderly if the issue is not rectified.

  1. Hey Olufemi!

    First off, I thought the articles you found I thought present clear and present problems in which helpful and productive opportunities are highly evident. I had a hard time finding the different required steps the prompt outlined, so for future reference I would just separate each point so that finding them all is easy to do. And with material like what you found, discussing those points should be a walk in the park! I found both of the articles you used to discuss marijuana quite intriguing; I'm glad you used two topics to discuss this, as it gave two insights into the same theme. Great job!
