"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
@AynRand_is_Dead@miniapeur i once read that jobs exist for two reasons only - to save time or to save money. on the whole, academic jobs do neither (at least in the short term). i don't agree with it but it's the way things are.
"Treating the root cause" is a trope abused in alternative/integrative/functional medicine to sow distrust in mainstream medicine.
Ironically, a scientifically implausible “root cause” is often treated with pseudoscientific approaches (e.g., spine subluxations for all diseases; past life regressions for PTSD; balancing energy for back pain, etc.).
