Doctors are either working class or middle class depending on their amount of investment. IT fucklords too.

Working class = all your money comes from labor. If you stop laboring you are immediately in crisis.
Middle class = some amount of your money comes from labor and some from investments. You could stop working, but your quality of life would be impacted
Upper class = all your money comes from investments and rents. If you have a job at all you could stop working without concern

If you show up at the hospital every day and punch the clock so that you can pay rent you're working class.

I think this makes them petite bourgeoisie. They align themselves with the haute bourgeoisie ideologically and attempt to do so socially, and they exploit labor, but they do not have enough accumulated capital to just be a capitalist.


I too want to see how someone could end up so wrong. Even at the lowest estimate, with 6 figgies being 100k and 7 figgies being a million, you end up at 550k for 6.5 figures. $316K is like 6.2 figgies at most, so claiming it as 6.5 figgies is clearly yospos trying to steal valor from people richer than themselves. Their brains have turned to mush through excessive bourgeois morality.

Figgies are not a simple measure of power, given that any given figgy covers a range of numbers where there's a factor ten difference between the high and low end.

People can't be held responsible for corona-induced loss of taste!

UK antibody tests show roughly 5% prevalence. Using the 42K probable deaths figure from the NHS means 1.2-1.3% IFR. Slightly higher than the 1.15% in Spain and 0.8% in France but consistent with a ~1% death rate overall (in Europe at least).

The AMA has a controversial reputation as an advocacy group. Only 20% of docs are members, so they don't really represent doctors in general.

Nice to see more and better seroprevalence tests coming out. Soon we'll be able to tease out how much of a difference age and obesity demographics matter to determine the USA bonus multiplier.

this is such a narrow view & does not account for various forms of ongoing thievery & fraud which are the responsibility of each employee to perpetrate upon the managerial class & which the managerial classes perpetrate themselves

u can be middle or upper class & hav to go to work every day 2 keep a scheme going. grift is the one thing that unites labor across class divisions

By and large the era of private practice doctors is mostly dead. Killed by massive hospitals that compete and insurance companies refusing to let them in the ppo barn. The giant hospital groups tell em let us absorb you or we will crush you. So pretty much every doctor now is a contractor and nobody actually works directly for the hospital unless they are admin.
