Agrajag posted:The Al something or other dinner. Yeah, the cardinal thing. I'm reading a book about FDR right now and he was the former Gov of NY who ran in the 1920s for president a few times and got destroyed. He then opposed FDR in the 1932 Democratic Primary. They were friends prior to that but Smith was extremely pro business and FDR not at all. That was the big split between them.

I don't care about their backgrounds, surveys show marines are far more likely than other branches to unrepentantly commit war crimes. GalacticAcid posted:However, please continue to hate them as well as all West Virginians to prove your wokeness. There comes a certain point when you explain to the population bubble-gum version a billion times that their industry is dying, and they'd rather keep deleting mountains trying to keep it alive than adapt, that you just stop having sympathy for idiots. Plus they so racist that Obama only won his 2012 primary there by 20 points to a convicted felon serving time.

Khisanth Magus posted:One of the biggest problems with this is that general doctors are paid peanuts and good luck paying off medical school on that. That plus how you have to rush patients through as quick as possible just kind of kills any desire to be a GP. You have to go for one of the high paying specialties to make the money that everyone things doctors make. I know it's hopeful, but Hillary's plans for helping people pay for college may help reduce health care costs indirectly by allowing more people to attend and maybe become GPs. Of course, this is just as likely as repealing Obamacare and expecting costs to drop. I hate that companies can't even fathom even the smallest hit to the bottom line, and that we should put profits above ethics.  (disclaimer: I think Obamacare is a good start, but obviously more work needs to be done).

+1 for Hillary in Texas (Guadalupe County). This morning our polling place was very busy and for the first time in three elections, I saw more Hispanic and black people than white voters in the short time I was there. As I was leaving after using the voting machine, I couldn't help but leave grinning. A nice black lady was entering the building as I was walking out and she said in a low voice, "It feels good doesn't it?" and I exclaimed "Oh god it sure does" and we both started laughing and she commented that she couldn't help but see my huge smile and we both fist pumped the air and continued on our way. Today has been a very good day.

Like, yeah, they have a large amount of medical school debt but the BLS has Family and GP's pegged at $190k. That's not peanuts. Sure, specialists make even more but if we're calling $190k peanuts then what do you call a living wage for doctors?

Bassetking posted:That's why we have a doctor scarcity. Oddly enough that's only true when those specialists are mostly men. For the most part fields where women are just so happen to be the ones that pay less.    And that's not including the associated medical specialties which don't have their MD, where women get further screwed on pay.

Kilroy posted:The title "Go Midwest, Young Hipster" is dumb and not a little infuriating, as though the current state of things is because of us selfish and liberal millennials who insist on living in a place where we're not actively hated and antagonized. "Oh, these poor rural areas are degrading because they've made it absolutely toxic for anyone who isn't over 55 and white to live there - why don't these selfish youngsters try to make them better by living there anyway?" The dirty secret is the places in Iowa with jobs aren't that bad. Des Moines is pretty shockingly liberal for people who expect a GOP wasteland. Remember, Iowa's gone blue most of the last twenty years of presidential elections.
