If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.
It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.
But it’s literally how it works in the USA with voting. It shouldn’t, but it DOES.
Yeah, thank fuck he beat Trump or both Ukraine and Gaza would already be gone by now. I really wish he would stop selling weapons to Israel though.
From one of the cited articles in the study:
Despite the government’s continued conciliation, the return of majors is still a long way off. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, only 879 (8.4%) of the 10,509 residents of 211 training hospitals actually went to work as of the 30th of last month. Based on 100 training hospitals, only 714 out of 9,992 people (7.1%) are working. “The Ministry of Health and Welfare recently sent an official letter to the heads of training hospitals across the country to meet with doctors to confirm their intention to return to the hospital and their future career,” said Jeon, a controller. “If you look at the institutions that submitted related data, the response rate for returning majors is less than 10 percent.”
Existing doctors see this as competition and a threat to their livelihood. They are already well paid in Korea, so it’s just the doctors being greedy.
None of this is true.
There are a lot of problems in the Korean medical system. Here’s a journal report discussing a few of the key points: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)00766-9/fulltext
Here’s a longer article going into detail why the residents are so upset.
Basically, there are a lot of problems with the South Korean healthcare system, leading to unsafe public health situations. Instead of actually trying to fix any of the problems, the government decided to significantly increase the number of residents each year (throw more people at the problems), criminally prosecute them for mistakes, and also tell them it might be illegal to quit, so they’ll just take their whole medical license away. Like 90% quit and said they’re not coming back. There was a suggestion that the government, instead of completely revoking resigning residents’ medical licenses, may remove their ability to work in hospitals ever again, but allow them to work in rural clinics because they’re already so understaffed and no one wants to live in the middle of nowhere for shit pay… unless the only other option is to find a new field of work and waste all those years of med school.

Ugh. We caught a kid doing that in my high school library last May. We radioed for help. The campus supervisor walked him outside, talked to him about it, and sent him back to us to finish the test he was working on. I couldn’t believe it. Later, we told admin about it and had to write witness statements. He was a freshman and said it’s what he does at home when he’s sitting around, and didn’t realize he was doing it. None of the students know, as far as I’m aware. We all kept it very quiet.
Oh good call! I bet you’re right!
For you and anyone else who missed it:
“And I gotta tell ya; I can’t wait to debate this guy,” Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That’s if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up. “See what I did there?”
The crowd was roaring. I’m not sure if he really paused for dramatic effect. They wouldn’t have heard him if he had said it right away. But either way, it was very funny.
That’s what happened to us with the Camp Fire, but a guy started the Park Fire (currently at 401,199 acres and 27% contained).
Fun fact! Erin Hunter is a pseudonym for a collective of authors including Tui Sutherland! She wrote Wings of Fire after she stopped writing/editing Erin Hunter books. I found out while I was working in an elementary school library.
Not my favorite, but I recently finished the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. Nothing in them is original, and she heavily borrows from folk tales and mythology, but she makes it very satisfying. She’s REALLY good at knowing what her audience wants, imo, so it was fun to read.
It’s not that easy. They don’t have much money, and that’s why they were living where they were. The city nearby where everyone works became too expensive after the Camp Fire (rent has almost doubled) and then COVID. It’s really hard. They would’ve had to start over completely somewhere else without nearby family, friends, or their jobs. It’s just not that simple. Towns burning down is a pretty recent recurrence.
Honestly, I thought the same thing about Obama. I didn’t think there was any way a black guy who’d been living in Chicago would win. But he did! You never know!
Though I agree that the risk would be crazy high to run a black/Indian female president with a gay vice president. Maybe not this psycho election.
I’m sorry, but I can’t fathom how any of Boeing’s years of falsified sign-offs have anything at all to do with the current Secretary of Transportation. Unless you’re unhappy with the FAA investigation? Which would be pretty weird.
Really? I think he’s doing a phenomenal job.
They’re clearly trying to win if they got so scared about polls they strong-armed Biden into resigning. The panic has pretty clearly set in. We’ll see if this works or not.
I was also surprised by that, but I’m still surprised people have them in their living rooms. I guess it’s like upgrading from a baby monitor??
38H (UK sizing) here.
I still don’t go braless even in winter because they hang low, and that embarrasses me. Existing at all embarrasses me, so take that with a grain of salt.
I’d you enjoyed Breath of the Wild, you’ll probably love Tears of the Kingdom. Some people felt it wasn’t different enough from Breath of the Wild, but there’s so much more to explore. And there was a part in the story that was so emotional, it made me ugly cry.
That article was really worth reading. Thank you for posting it. I didn’t know how much upheaval there has been surrounding endorsements in the field of journalism. It’s crazy that we’ve gotten to the point where the owners of two major papers both got involved to stop an endorsement over the same election against the same candidate. The article mentions that people have been canceling their subscriptions in protest, but… it doesn’t seem like enough.
