So if the budget was balanced and then shrunk to 40% you'd be on track
@diversity_is_racism Property tax is rent paid to the gov for something we supposedly own. I see it as remnants of a feudal system paid to a manor lord.
@profagonist COINCIDENTALLY, ENTITLEMENTS ARE ABOUT 60% OF THE BUDGET
@MRB I AM PRO-FEUDALISM, BUT IT IS A CASTE SYSTEM, SO HARD TO COMPARE TO PRESENT
@diversity_is_racism That's fair.
IT MAKES SENSE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHO A PERSON IS
AND PUT THEM IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN SHINE
INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM FEEL BAD FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH
MESSAGE OF CASTE SYSTEM: YOU HAVE CERTAIN ABILITIES, DO WELL WITH THEM, AND ALL IS GOOD
IT PRODUCES FEWER HOURS AT WORK
AND MORE HOSPITABLE WORK ENVIRONMENTS
I WAS TALKING TO A DOCTOR
WHO SAID:
60% OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS HOSPITAL DO NOT NEED TO BE HERE
MANY OF THE OTHERS COULD BE ELSEWHERE WITH SOME LIFESTYLE CHANGES
AND SOME ARE JUST DOOMED, MAYBE 10% OR SO
WE HAVE MADE A PONZI INDUSTRY OUT OF EVERY INDUSTRY
The economy is like that to some extent. Growth is set by new consumers.
@diversity_is_racism they need actual nurses and doctors
but can't afford to pay them
my friend's dad in upper class nj made less at his private practice than his wife did as some generic office lady
so he quit and became a nightshift er emergency surgeon
@MRB I AGREE IT IS BASED ON GROWTH, WHICH IS UNSTABLE
@Death Strike's Bat TOO MANY REGULATIONS
SHOULD GO TO CASH-BASED
preventative medicine
ALSO
DON'T BE FAT
MEDICAL SCHOOL IS TOO EXPENSIVE
DON'T DRINK A FIFTH A DAY
AVOID MENTHOLS
NO METH
medical school is too expnsive for doctors to pay it back now
YES
IT IS STUPID
as OBONGO
WE HAVE TRASHED THE PROFESSIONS
fucked the medical field
THE MORE WE TRY TO MAKE THINGS EQUAL
THE MORE WE RUIN THEM
