The AMA corrected course on this. The problem is not a lack of schools. The problem is a lack of hospitals to train them in as part of the residency. As long as residency is a thing, we have an insurmountable bottle neck. Evidence to the li

The point of UBI is to remove non-private charity support. How will politicians react when people are dying in the streets? The US is not about persons responsiblity.

“To be human” is a soft phrase. What does that mean? It appears to assume an standard. The purpose of that appears to be to pull a no true Scotsman.

This is a valid point. I’ve never seen a response to how you make sure the spending goes to the resources. While one can argue that the people should be adults, reality shows that is not true. Having the infrastructure to pay rent automatic

I know how they feel. I have two cigars a year. Got stressed. Wanted a cigar. Half way through it I thought, “This diseases affects lungs.” Then I put out the cigar and continued my walk.

Thoreau's philosophy is an existential one. It is rooted in his ethos. As such, an ad hominem attack is a valid rebut to his system. The man extolled the virtues of living on one's own. On reducing to the essences life by means of

Essentially we like him because he was like us: hypocrites? As the article says he was full of him self. He was a liar. He didn’t live on his own. People cared for him out of their own pocket. Those who love home do so because they want to

I agree with you. SQL needs to be integration tests. In this era of Docker spinning up a DB should be easy.

EVs will require a mind change. I have a hybrid. I drive it in St Augustine FL, America’s oldest city. As such the roads in the historic district are narrow. When I come to an intersection I have to be especially conscientious because pedes

I said I don’t call for the abolition of the government. I want to reign it in. I want it to focus on a smaller set of regulations.

You’re right. The government puts restrictions on businesses that give established entities a competitive advantage. The government could end non competes. Some have. I’m not for no government. I’m for government of, for and by the people.

Sweden places the tax burden on the individual not the corporations. Their Corp tax rat is 21%. The same rate that the Republicans pushed for in the tax change. The difference is the average citizen is taxed at 48% vs the US average of 21.

It doesn’t exist. The people would stop working for the employer. They would work in other business. Perhaps work for those in direct competition to The Employer. The Employer would go out of business.

You have designated yourself as a moral authority by sheer force of your existence. I simply explained the benefit and risks of being a contractor. You have decided that I should not be allowed to sell my labor at a rate I and my client acc

I actually want to see most of the lines you cite removed. Property lines are not arbitrary they are contractual. Now where the ruling body politic set those contractual lines might be arbitrary but that is beside the point. You’ve construc

You shouldn’t pervert justice just because someone is poor. If you’re ok with not following justice, but rather an emotional sense of vengeance, then why allow income at all? Let the state provide the needs and have the citizens provide the

I don’t think so. Denmark or Sweden lacks a minimum wage. People are free to not work with Uber. They are free to work with them. If there is labor that will accept Uber’s terms, let them. Allow competition. Remove the regulations around ta

You can make more money as a contractor. The deal is contractors get paid more to take in the risk of being fired. If you are ok with this, you get as liquid money the cash that would have gone to benefits. So I bill for about 200k USD. My

I agree with your sentiment. I agree with the general idea. My problem is that the people behind cancel culture are hypocrites. Fundamentalists and even society in general 30 years ago said homosexuality was morally abhorrent. They tried to

I object to hypocrisy. Those pushing speech limits are the same who pushed for freedom. Why was did gay rights win the day? It was due to a cogent argument that freedom is better than hiding in the shadows. Rather than suppressing gay speec

It will be interesting to watch our new language lords evolve. We’ve already seen backlash against Rowling for being a TERF. However TERF ideology was fine just a few years ago. Who knows what will become the new taboo.

One thing we learned from the 1918 pandemic is to not to give 40 mg of aspirin to people. One of the major causes of death during that time was bleeding out internally. We now know that 4mg is the max. https://www.sciencedaily.co

That’s more an assumption. Some fields over that time have seen a sharp increase in wages. Another thought on unions is that it doesn’t look at qualitative differences between US and E.U. unions. For example US unions tend to protect drunk

The article didn’t really articulate a causal relationship. It appears to be more “here are some differences, therefore they explain it”. I’m not discounting the validity of these being the cause, but at the same time this article doesn’t p

I appreciate your comment. I think it proves the idea how important free compilers and run times are. The web took off not due to C, but Perl. It was free and came with many servers that people rented. After that came the 90s with languages
