Mental health services could be on-demand / walk-in / virtual

By Hicbd

"Self Space is the world’s first on-demand mental health service on the high street. We provide straightforward access to flexible therapy, offering a good conversation with a qualified person seven days a week - there’s no waitlist and we can usually see people on the same day as their booking...We’re the only provider who still gives access to both in person and virtual mental health therapy with a bespoke match-making service that finds the right therapist for you."

Therapy could be through walking

By Hicbd

"The first rule of Walk Club, we’re instructed, is to leave something behind. Not a literal piece of baggage, but one of those metaphorical ones that many of us carry. Whether it’s something that happened earlier in the day or an ongoing feeling of discontentment, we’re asked to visualize physically leaving it on the ground before we begin our walk. The second rule of Walk Club is to have open ears and an open mind, as we prepare to ask and answer questions from the topic cards we’ve all just selected, with people we have only just met...Walk Club was launched in spring 2024 by the founders of Self Space, a therapy company whose branches aren’t tucked away in high rise offices, but are found on some of London’s most popular shopping and dining streets."

McDonald's / fast food could have all day breakfast

By Hicbd

"Many restaurants restrict their breakfast to the morning hours, transitioning to lunch service just before midday at around 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. Luckily, some establishments don't follow this pattern, realizing that some of us love to indulge in our favorite morning meals whenever the mood strikes. Whether open 24/7 or from morning until late evening, these select restaurants understand that modern lifestyles demand flexibility. After all, with regular schedules becoming a thing of the past, the desire for breakfast can hit at any time."

Christmas tree twins could roam around

By Hicbd

"A married gay couple who prefers to keep their true identities a secret, the tree twins have spent the last five Christmases going around the Bay Area, bringing Christmas cheer to strangers and expecting nothing in return...The tree twins want the lore behind their costumes to include that they came from the North Pole, where all the trees there dance around wearing high heels and lipstick."

Tornado storm chasing could be tourism

By Hicbd

"Storm-chasing tours are part of that market. They're not your typical bus tour – no visiting tourist traps for quick photos. Most tour companies run between one to three small vans with perhaps six people in a van. They seldom have more than 20 guests per trip. The groups drive as far south as Texas and as far north as the Canadian border, chasing images on a radar screen and then patiently waiting for a storm to form."

A tornado storm chaser truck could be developed

By Hicbd

"A research meteorologist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and a faculty member at the University of Oklahoma, Smith deployed in the field alongside an armada of more than 50 scientists for this highly coordinated study of natural chaos. Half a dozen trucks loaded with sensor equipment sliced through the storm releasing weather balloons while two drones and a turboprop plane buzzed overhead, all with the intent to create a 3D map of the storm."

Tornadoes could be controlled / stopped

By Hicbd

"Severe storms researchers were still attempting to learn some of the most basic information about tornadoes—How do they form? How fast are their wind speeds? But some outspoken team members hypothesized to the press that, once they knew more, tornado control would be a logical future step. In 1965, for example, an Oklahoma newspaper wrote that 'Eventually, when weathermen know the exact causes of a tornado, they may be able to prevent its formation, possibly by a cloud-seeding technique.'"

U.S. health insurers could sell off pharmacy-benefit managers

By Hicbd

"A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation to break up pharmacy-benefit managers, the drug middlemen that have now faced yearslong scrutiny from Congress and the Federal Trade Commission...'PBMs have manipulated the market to enrich themselves—hiking up drug costs, cheating employers, and driving small pharmacies out of business'."
