“Not if it's turned into a ranch!”

That’s not obvious to me. Most plants are C2 plants, but grass is a C4 so it captures sunlight more efficiently.

Not to say burning the Amazon isn’t a terrible idea.

In school.

But s/he needn’t have a B.Arts in management to apply to med school first.

I don’t know what you mean by “Maybe a few hundred”. Do you mean schools or neurosurgeons?

If 1., there are only 150 med school for all Dr. in the US, contributing to a very low number of Dr. Per capita.

If 2. They study medicine. Do residency. And train on the job for the rest of their lives... just like today [0]

[0] actually one of the reasons for medical errors, a top three killer in the US, is that most Dr. don’t update their knowledge one thy finish their residency. :S

I mean sure, but that’s not why it’s not recyclable. I mean we don’t rust iron to recycle it!

Plastics are hard to recycle because their melts don’t mix. As a result, when cast, you end up with an interface inside your part where the plastic can delaminate and fail.

Therefore, to recycle plastic you have to classify it according to type (plastic things usually have little numbers stamped on them indicating type) and you have to be right over 99% of the time.

Hating on a Dr. for having a nice car is BS, but what you mention are failures of America.

Only America trains their Dr. until they’re 35, while having them do nothing towards their medical degree in their undergrad.

Only America saddles then with $500k in debt.

Remove both barriers, and presumably you’d have market forces push more ppl to the profession reducing wages.

Yes, but consider that the US taxpayer pays per capita more or less what the Canadian taxpayer does on health care, while covering only Medicaid and Medicare.

The Canadian, on the other hand, doesn’t have insurance premiums or deductibles.

(For the record, I hate the CND health care system. It’s just that, knowing both systems, the US’ is worse :)
