When doctors cover multiple hospitals they realize how ridiculous and arbitrary many of the regulations are
One hospital requires XYZ. Another one doesn’t. Yet if you fail to do XYZ at the hospital that requires it, they look at you like you’re the most careless monster on earth
It’s not super intelligence. “Artificial” was already the correct description. Rebranding it to try to make it sound more impressive or somehow superior to human beings is absurd, pointless, and bizarrely dystopian. Also the stupidest thing to focus on right before an election with gas prices through the roof.
I absolutely hate that the AI issue has become simplistically partisan and I hate even more than the Right has fallen on the “AI is amazing and everything about it is great and we shouldn’t do a single thing to regulate or control it at all and in fact we love it so much that we’re going to rename it and call it Super Intelligence because that sounds more fun” side of that grossly simplified divide. Not surprised by either of these developments but I hate them nonetheless.
Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s when millions of immigrants flooded our shores, no paperwork was required to immigrate. No passports, visas, or work permits. Anyone who could afford a ticket could board a ship, arrive in America, answer a few basic questions, and be on their way.
They could stay as long as they wanted, work wherever they wanted, buy property, start businesses, and basically do anything any American citizen could do. In fact, in most states, they could legally vote in local, state, and even national elections, subject to the same poll tax, literacy test, or other qualifications required of American citizens.
If they wanted to naturalize, they just needed to register their intent and were given seven years to complete the paperwork necessary to become American citizens, which millions of immigrants were proud to do.
Things began to change in the 1930s with the advent of social security numbers, and then more so with the Alien Registration Act of 1940, signed into law as a WWII security measure. When the war ended, instead of being repealed, in 1946 it evolved into what we now call Green Cards.
In effect, we had completely open borders and the country thrived. In fact, during the decades we now call the Gilded Age—the high-growth period that Donald Trump claims he wants to emulate—our borders were wide open. The reason this worked so well is that we had no welfare state. People came to America for freedom and opportunity only. They came to contribute to our economy, not live off it. They did not drain our resources; they added to them.
The lesson is that immigration is not the problem. The problem is the welfare state. Shut off that magnet and America will no longer attract people looking for free stuff. In fact, we need to turn off that magnet for everyone, so those who are looking for free stuff will leave to seek it out someplace else.
1. Trump's press ban is prejudicial.
All of the media has participated in "fiction and lies".
His ban isn't based on who lied, but who favors him.
2. Trump's $5,000 promise is a bribe.
If we're going to be given money, it should be unconditional, and the result of making systems better, not cash for votes.
3. Macklemore is free to call the situation in Gaza a genocide, and Kraft is free to not give him a platform to say it.
Calling him antisemitic is a strategic error.
4. We shouldn't even know who the holdout Lindsay Clancy juror is.
The fact that we do is a disaster for the justice system.

Trump just beat Biden with the HIGHEST diesel price in history - $6.50/gallon.
Is this what winning is like??
I’m so sick of Trump’s “winning.”
So so so sick of it.
All of you pathetic hypocritical maga cult accounts and bots get ready for more of my gas price videos.
I didn���t campaign for that liar and fight to get him elected for him to betray us all and start an unprovoked foreign war, kill a bunch of little girls in a school, get our military men and women killed and wounded, make it unaffordable for regular Americans to pump fuel in their cars and trucks, and refuse to release the Epstein files.
By the way, EVERYTHING in this country runs on diesel!!!
EVERYTHING that matters.
🤔If the “news” reports that everyone will get $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms, does that make them “fake news?”
If it is real news, does it mean Republicans are running “against socialism” or “for socialism?”
I’m surprised this is only the second CTA head and neck of the night after working a full hour. Routine low-energy trauma. Patient tripped and hit the side of a wall but never struck the ground. Brief dizziness that resolved was apparently enough to trigger a CTA head and neck in the ED. All day every day. The overutilization is rampant but unless you’re a radiologist watching it firsthand apparently there’s no problem. Also, the patient is 89 if that matters and comes from memory care.
