There isn't a surplus of doctors until some can't find any doctor work, and prices are forced down by all the competition. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

That's always the bottom line. Shitty healthcare payouts leads to dumber and dumber doctors because they will have to dumb down what is required to be a doctor. We'll have to let into the country grads from Bill's Med School in Bumcrap Bulgradia because $50K a year to them is grabbing the brass ring. We all suffer equally so the homeless piece of dung, who is homeless willingly, can have the same health coverage we do. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Quite frankly it's the opposite now. Prices (my salary) were forced up over the past few years because of a shortage, and one hospital trying to poach an anesthesiologist from another. The prices (salary) I am paid as an employee are tied to what I could get in private practice. If it is not comparable no one takes my job. When we are in need, the next offer to get someone is always slightly higher. In Medicare for all the private guys are devastated first, as they earn exactly what insurance pays them minus expenses. It would take a little while for my hospital to realize that they can drastically cut our salaries as the comparable is way down. But it will happen. |

I don't doubt people would bounce. I seriously question whether people would then refuse to sign up in the first place. It seems a trend as I hop across all these jobs. Especially now in the post office with our huge employee force, I meet old timers all day long. Bar not a single one, every one regales me with tales of them GTFO when we went digital with the scanning and GPS. As you may know, USPS was one of those cush jobs you fought for. Bens, pension, and MAD OT. Guys would get their load, sling some, then hit the bar. Bar a couple hours then finish their route on OT. We're talking 80's and 90's here. Then the scanners came and then the micromanagement. Accountability. Now they actually had to "work" and lost their gravy train, so they retired en masse. And while the new tech not only made us accountable, it also allows for more production. Computer sorting. A skillion times more efficient, we could get out a skillion times more mail. But, as it always is, we are paid not one red cent extra for this extra production. We're just expected to "get it done". And many after years of high hogging simply bounced. Did the mail stop? I don't argue that you and your ilk would bounce. I would too, if I had the ability. But while you are looking at it from going from 400k to 100k, there's a bunch of kids with a ton of debt looking at it as going from 0k to 100k. I could be wrong, but I'm a yute stuck in this bulls#$%. The fact that my elders pulled down $150k while I'm f#$%ing killing myself for $48k might make me properly postal, but I'm still showing up every day, and all the mail still always gets out. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

I remember in the 70's you had to be Black to get into the PO. If you weren't, you had to know somebody who knew somebody, cause it was a lifetime job of doing almost nothing for a whole lot of money and bennies. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Same as the couriers of the Grim Reaper. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
