Seems it comes down to: "budget-minded politicians in Congress" According to 'studentdoctor.net' from 2017 - there is a cap because there are not enough residencies for graduating med students. The government is the prim

Presumably, those who trained as surgeons, want to be surgeons. Sunk cost fallacy might come into play. A better analogy is someone who wants to be a software engineer, get burned out - and you say "hey, why not be a NOC technician if

The grammar of the sentence, as written, would really indicate otherwise. Written in the post: "Scarcity drives demand." (exact quote) The sub-text is that doctors are slightly corrupt and wish to be payed more, and therefore are

To some potentially large extent I agree with what you wrote. Though, this guideline is perhaps violated: > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Not sure if that's making things "fair". Grep & find are insanely powerful when you're a CLI power user. Nonetheless, I'm particularly curious which cases the AI tool can find things that are not easy to find vi

"No one has been displaced." This is a false statement. Any single example is enough to disprove the statement. Consider this: "There are 36,659 people employed in the Coal Mining industry in the US as of 2023." [1] Coa

Jon Stewart, in the original context, is concerned about the near future. That is not to say the impacts on the film/tv/screen-writing industry are not already being felt today. The SAG-AFTRA strike was in large part about AI. The

Citations needed. Jon Stewart is in a place to speak on the impact of AI to his industry, considering he is an industry expert (he has what, 30 to 40 years in Hollywood. That makes him an expert of screenwriting/acting. You only need t

Unsupported statements that are myopic deserve a downvote. You assume to know what others believe, and would assume to know their past as well. Overall, it doesn't really strike me that Texas is actually any different from any other st

Thank you for that response! If I understand correctly, the tree-farm trees are actually then pretty decent for construction material all-in-all. Personally, I do wish we could strike a better balance in the US. I don't think we want t

New growth is genetically engineered to grow quickly, in dense conditions, to have short branches & to drop branches quickly. Loggers have optimized for growing tree trunks, not trees. The wood quality is very different from these trees

Tree farm is basically a solid brick of brown matter with some bushes on the top. The trees are sick, light starved, growing too closely together, and generally a mess. The things that live in tree farms are not nice, rats, it's too th

The studies that say newly growing forests absorb carbon at a faster rate are suspect (logging industry funded). For starters, I wouldn't believe the logging industry propaganda. First, let's consider tree farms, modern mono-cultu

I'm responding to only: "> How does the market grow if all trades are zero-sum?" I'm not trying to say that markets are necessarily a net positive. But we should also not be myopic about it either. There is more to it

The difference, an analyst states if they have a long or short holding and if they intend to buy or sell in the future. The scammer does not, that is the key difference.
