It's moot and internet archive was always hosed because you're not able to just scan a book and let someone see it as a library. Ebook library licenses are insanely expensive, like $100+ per copy for something you can get in hardback for $22. They tend to be limited in duration, like only 2 years, and also the Library pays extra whenever anyone checks it out.

SKULL.GIF posted:Here's some doomsday economics for you guys. I got my mail and saw my quarterly Medicare summary. I went in at the end of last year at the recommendation of my physician to get a 1cm skin tag sliced off. This whole process took about 20 minutes start-to-finish after checking in, including waiting on the doctor to show up and waiting on them to prep for the removal. collective bargaining in action what amazes me is that the people inside the Medicaid/Medicare systems are actually telling the providers to go gently caress themselves, so to speak, instead of just writing blank checks with our money

Most private insurance business today is Admin Services Only, where the insurer pays all the claims that come in for the month at $X and send a bill to the policy holder for $X + an admin fee. The value add is the provider network + negotiated rates.

If you were getting advice from someone who can't represent you in the relevant jurisdiction, just pay the 300 and consider yourself lucky.

Or wait these people can just get hired somewhere else. Cry me a river Over a thousand people got laid off in Belvidere IL (next to Rockford) last month, the news didn't give the slightest poo poo mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 01:59 on Mar 27, 2023 |

That story isn't about pandemic exodus workers fwiw, it's about people who live in those places to begin with getting hired during the tech pandemic hiring rush and getting laid off.

I do not believe for a single loving second that a DINK couple pulling in $300K+ a year in SF decided to move to Bozeman Montana, where they could spend that money at Walmart and nowhere else.

Allegheny County here was estimated to have lost over 100K residents 2018-2020 and when the census actually went through, whoops, we actually gained 80K or so.

bozeman montanas population spiked at around 200% of its growing rate. it happened, it just did not happen at a rate that is like "suddenly everyone moved everywhere else." it was in the ranges of like .5% of the population loss for these job-heavy cities over 2-3 years. same deal with bend. it grew much faster than its previous rate. the stats are true but the narrative absolutely overblows the change.

I do not believe it for a single loving minute and I'll happily wait until we see census numbers in seven years. There's no point in making six figures in the middle of nowhere when your outlets are The Pickle Barrel and Walmart.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, friend of mine growing up got a well-paying engineering job in Philadelphia. Moved back to where we grew up to "build his dream house". Dude sold that fucker and went back to the Philly suburbs in less than two years.

Housing in Bozeman is insanely expensive and even was before the pandemic kicker spike somehow, you can still fly to other places, and Bozeman is cool as hell and the kind of people would do that have expensive outdoor hobbies. You can buy $10k carbon bikes at any bike shop in Bozeman, just like any town.
