@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio Public being more efficient is the biggest load of bullshit. A profit motive creates efficiency.
Case in point to launch a rocket costs NASA $3 BILLION.
SoaceX is working towards $10M launch costs for starship
@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio Also it's not what I think a doctor is worth, worth is subjective. I think a $350k salary for a doctor a year is fair compensation and it's more than the current average. Obviously surgeons etc get paid more much like law partners get paid more.
@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio And it's a tiered layer, paralegals etc get charged out at lower rates, partners get charged at $1500/hr but the partner doesn't spend 40 hours a week on a single client
@DrDiGiorgio@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz I see, so taking this logic 1m physicians in the USA x 1840 average working hours a year, so there is 1.8 billion hours of expert witness testimony and consulting that will pay $1500 /hr. So the industry can support $2.7T in activity.
Ok sure.
@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio You're comparing the average doctor to a lawyers billed rate.
When I was in consulting I was charged out at $450/hr
U think I got paid $450/hr?
U also completely ignored my point about scale. Not every lawyer is going to be defending meta in a $1b lawsuit.
@TaxiCrabb@Mrgunsngear The expensive drones are the deep strike ones that run 30-250k.
These drones are $200 drones with a grenade attached. Kitting out a soldier costs way more than that
@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio Lawyer comparison is not always valid because you have to talk scale. A doctor can see one patient at a time, a corporate lawyer is defending eg. META from a multi billion lawsuit. Some lawyers are success based, they don't get paid if they don't win
@LighthouseDPC@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio $150/hr although it depends on experience. 8 hr days 4 weeks and 10 days holidays is $280k a year.
Obviously surgeons rate would go up.
@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio If the price of something is zero then usage (unnecessary) goes up.
The gates are there to stop people having unnecessary procedures drugs or services that drive up eveyones cost.
Go run a business before speaking about shit u don't understand
@lukalsz@DrDiGiorgio Most hospitals are non profit and their margins are pretty slim. The reason they have 90% occupancy targets is because it costs money to have nurses and medical equipment just sitting around. If u pay $1m for an MRI machine do u want that to run once a day or 100 times a day?
@CollinRugg Why don't you nationalize NASA instead ...
Oh wait...
Exactly .. Mr Reich who knows fuck all about building shit. Leave the builders in this country alone and stop trying to destroy what the productive produce
Go run NASA and show us how it's done
