Exactly this. The VA already is hiring as many midlevels (NP/PA) as possible so that they don't have to hire MDs. You wouldn't believe how low the bar is to become an NP. PAs receive substantially better training, but at the end of the day they are still midlevels.
Worse still, many NP programs are now giving out "doctorates" of nursing practice so that NPs can introduce themselves to the patient as "Dr." Smith.
In short, the VA is willing to gamble with your life if it means saving a few bucks. It's pretty harrowing.
What differentiates a course as "high school" level vs. college? I honestly feel like my high school courses were just as hard as my college courses. The only difference is they required the prerequisite knowledge from the high school courses. Or, at least, having that knowledge helped.
Actually, that’s exactly how unfettered “free market” capitalism operates. The end game is big companies end up controlling everything, including the regulations in order to tip the scales in their favor.
Went from being the golden child of /r/wallstreetbets (literally every portfolio screenshot was of robin hood) to being villainized due to suspicious circumstances regarding locking people out of trading Gamestop "for their own good." Now any screenshot of robin hood is ridiculed.
This product is uniquely appealing to me because as a kid, I actually used to type almost completely with one hand at 40 wpm using my right hand solely for the backspace, enter, shift, and space keys. The only reason I stopped and learned how to use both hands to type was that my left hand started getting arthritis-like symptoms as a 10th grader.
Unfortunately, my hand hurts just looking at the example in the promotional video I found. I don't see how you could hold your hand up at that angle like that and not end up straining it. However, I'd love to be wrong.
Yeah, this is very strange to me. There was a case involving Cleveland Clinic where an Asian nurse's coworkers and supervisor were openly racist to her, and the case was straight up dismissed.
> Plaintiff alleges that younger nurses called her an “oldbie” or “old bitch” and referred to rice she ate as “lice.” (Lee Dep. R. #33-4 at 170) She asserts that one nurse stated, “you Chinese people eat anything that crawls and walks” and also stated that Plaintiff does not have “chinky eyes” even though she is Chinese. (Id.) In December 2013, Plaintiff reported the incident to a different supervisor, Debbie Brosovich (“Brosovich”), who responded that she was “overreacting” and being “sensitive.”
Understandable that my comment seemed to point only to bamboo, but I really meant I don't believe most/any of the current builders in America are capable of creating anything that requires this level of unique mastery, bamboo or not. And if they are, there's certainly no evidence of it. All we have is blocky 5-over -1s.
I'm disappointed that all the credit in the article goes to the architechts who designed this. I'm much more impressed with the actual builders who were able to accomplish this. No way something like this would ever be able to be accomplished in America.
