A modest proposal

Whereas, Oregon has a high unemployment rate during this epidemic and,
Whereas, Oregon has always trailed other states coming out of depressions and,
Whereas, COVID-19 has revealed a dire need for testing facilities nationwide and,
Whereas, Oregon Scientific and OHSU medical facilities already exist and,
Whereas, the state government is always looking for more money,

Therefore, the State of Oregon, Oregon Scientific, and OSHU should enter into a partnership to expand Oregon's medical testing capacity, not only to get us out of the current crisis, but as an investment business to earn money by taking in testing from other states.  We should also create a vocational rehab program to teach the necessary robot running skills to people on unemployment, thus soaking up excess labor capacity and putting market pressure on wages.
