Good point - I don't see why they're subsidized by the federal gvt at all, rather than the resident, the hospital, the AMA, etc.

I don't think that's accurate. From my research, the bottleneck is residencies, whose funding is determined by Congress [1]. The AMA has supported laws to increase residencies, such as "H.R. 2389/S. 1302, the Resident Ph

Each year, like clockwork, Putin's top critic residing in Russia is killed "mysteriously." If you can't figure out "cui prodest" by now, you're in a small (but quite vocal!) minority.

I've had laptops slow down like this due to dust on the fans. They weren't able to cool effectively, and presumably the CPU got throttled. Not sure why it happens with phones -- I assumed the OSes shipped more expensive animations
