I would say, to be pedantic, that your pay isn't set by the market "really," because of market distortions of all kinds. Like doctors are highly paid for a number of reasons one of which is cause the APA restricts the…
Can you provide actual sources to support the claim that a very small number of people are responsible for output?
How is the right to privacy being violated though? Imagine you were a stripper or porn actress, your right to privacy wouldn't preclude someone recognizing you at the strip club or video. Or suppose you went to the…
If the videos are published, and the social media profiles public, how can it be illegal to match the two? Supposedly if they show their face they already accept the danger of being recognized, unless the video was…
The average debt is substantial if you consider over 30k substantial. Professional students obviously will have substantially more. But most professional school loans are private and not federal as there is a cap. Also…
The flatness might be going on 40 years now. People were saying 30 years like 10 years ago.
The interesting part is the historical contingency of the distribution, that is based not just on rational economic principles but purposeful policy. For example, you would need to explain why up from post-war until the…
Which is ironic since the US has been becoming increasingly less "free." Like state elections, the ways congressional districts are gerrymandered, and the enormous outsized voice capital has in the functioning of our…
Is natural gas used to cool houses in Europe? I thought natural gas was mostly used for heating. In the UK at least many house lack air conditioning. I can't speak about the continent.
Freedom gas, the new American euphemism for flatulence
Still ridiculous. To me we should be above all that.
Not to mention that there is a reproducibility crisis in psychology and social science, and delivering the message without nuance makes it even more irresponsible.
Imo the problem with the article, and perhaps if it is a faithful representation of the original idea of orientalism, is that it is incoherent. >As Said argued, Orientalism’s failure was “a human as much as an…
I agree that physicians wages may be part of it. The AMA keeps a tight control on how many physicians are produced to keep fees high, but physician incomes haven't really been increasing. Doctors, I believe, generally…
Medicare rate and the reality of using Medicare are separate issues though For me the issue is that if you had something like a hernia it would essentially cost less to fly to Europe, have the surgery, and stay a couple…
Well Obama had a JD, and Trump has never read a book in his life. I wonder if that makes the difference.
>my eyes just rolled Right? To me it just seems unlikely that a respected journalist would do this, but I may just be speaking out of ignorance.
But the amount of hours worked are probably insane. I wouldn't be surprised if she was in her lab 12 hours a day for her whole post-doc or something like that. Many people are intelligent enough, but are not going to…
She obviously deserves some credit, and you can see she got some for her hard work and skills, i.e., she already has a tenure track position set up at Caltech. But rarely do post-docs actually get credit. The credit…
In more equal societies women tend to choose STEM less though
Except in most of STEM there are already an equal number of women. As soon as the baby boomers retire itll be obvious. Women get more PhDs than men, and have been for a while.
In much of STEM women are basically at parity. With computer science, and engineering being obvious exceptions. Further there is a study which has shown that in countries with greater gender equality women choose STEM…
Seems like it would harm job growth, because labor costs would increase for low wage jobs. Also what about income from investment?
I didn't read this article because of a payway but I read the NYT article on it, and they covered that. Knowing the Post I can only assume they did too and you didn't read it either?
I've always felt this. College is the wrong place for most people. College is for nerds who want to learn and do research, and things like that. It isn't for someone who just wants to get a "real" job, nor it is really…
