This is wrong.

It's medical students, not residents, who take research years, and that's only for extremely competitive specialties.

The lack of doctors, as it has always been, is because of the shortage of residency spots.

That cannot be addressed without Congress reversing 50+ years of neoliberalism trends and political failure and refusal to invest in public services and/or a communist revolution. Good luck fixing that.

Most doctors drop the research once they get a residency spot. It's just the selection mechanism for residency.

It was profitable for the slave owners.

History is not a Paradox game where there is rational top down control.

No, this is what twin studies are.

One twin raised in rich environment performs similarly to those in poor environments academically.

US schools are some of the best funded in the world. The causative relationship of funding on student performance is not strong.

Social programs such as Medicare, SSI, etc dwarf the military budget.

A million suicide drones is far cheaper than 10,000 infantry.

Very soon, "good enough" robotic autonomous infantry will exist which will make soldiers in the 21st century look as outdated as cavalry.

Simple DJI style drones employed en masse in Afghanistan would have been helpful for a variety of tasks.

I cannot see any reason, over than oversight and a lack of imagination, why something useful in Ukraine in 2022 was not feasible or useful in 2017 by the USA.

We already used drones quite handily well before that time frame but in a much more limited manner in a different form factor.

He is blatantly and obviously lying likely to boost stock prices. Radiologists do physical procedures too.

No one has believed the US are "good guys", probably ever. 9/11 was met with many celebrations across the 3rd world.

America's power has never been greater. In the 60s we had low level paramilitary street insurgencies. American politics are deliberately designed to be un-actionable by the public and opinion is irrelevant.

European countries and their governments are satrapies that we allow a limited independence to. If they try to step too far out of line they will find their government collapses. We did this to Australia at Pine Gap in the 70s and have a whole word for it "color revolution"

Revolution is no longer possible in the age of AI drones and Tiktok propaganda. The collapse of global society is much more likely than revolution.
