I met an underwriter through synagogue who works at the predatory lending office mentioned in this article (Queen Funding LLC). I will have a talk with him about this..

Sweden made cash (practically) illegal so now everyone has one less choice.
Such a high level of double taxation would kill all investment in this country overnight
> Many women would be uncomfortable having a male gynecologist or a male nurse helping them deliver their baby.
And what is your opinion of the above bit of my previous post (since you avoided that in your answer?)
Possibility 2: Those fields are male-dominated because they can't get into female-dominated fields.
Men do not work as teachers because the media has painted men as "sex crazed". Most mothers would be uncomfortable with having a male 4th grade teacher for their daughter.
Many women would be uncomfortable having a male gynecologist or a male nurse helping them deliver their baby.
> Doctors (high prestige, high pay) are about 70% male.
Sorry but this breaks your narrative: 60% of new MDs each year are female. However: female MDs are more likely to quit the profession or go part time in order to raise kids. Again, this might show anti-male discrimination because it is not socially acceptable for male doctors to quit work to stay home with the kids.

The above suggests to me that there's indeed a huge level of bias and discrimination, but not in the way you think.
Maybe anti-male sexism prevalent in the health care and education fields is causing women to prefer those fields.
Fix the sexism in health care/education. Elementary teachers should be 50% men. Nurses should be 50% men. Instead those fields are 90%(!) women! That is a HUGE level of bias and discrimination
Why is the health care field heavily biased in favor or female nurses and doctors? Are women smarter than men when it comes to biology/anatomy?
We need to force companies to pay a yearly "patent maintenance fee" which will pay for the governments costs in defending and enforcing patents.
We are sick of subsidizing patent enforcement for giant corporations
Sadly this is true for any multicultural city in any country of the world
Granted SF is space constrained, but there is no excuse for other parts of Cali to be so expensive.
All employers within San Francisco pay a large amount of taxes to the city for each employee. Those taxes more than pay for the cost of road use of their employees.
Thank you.
My friend is diabetic and in poor health, he would go broke if he lived in America and not Europe.
Sanitizer should ONLY be legal for use in hospitals
People working in CS are mostly in industry and do not have 10+ year timeframes to leisurely discuss ideas.
And what CS inventions are as impactful as atomic bombs (as someone mentioned above?) I cannot think of any CS inventions that warrant such extended ethical discussion.
The only exception would be computer scientists working on weapons in the defense industry. They should absolutely be held back by ethical concerns like this.
I feel hopeless that this will ever change. In a extremely liberal city like San Francisco, where nearly every citizen follows progressive politics, NIMBYs have passed laws the enrich wealthy renters and make it hard for the poor to afford to live in the city.
If San Francisco cannot get this right, no one can.
When power industry magazines talk about solar being cheap then i'll believe it
For the 88% of Americans who are insured, their wait times are lower than in rich Western European countries and Canada, and far lower than poorer Western European countries like Italy.
Here's an article about people in Canada paying for surgery in the U.S. to avoid waiting forever for their surgery: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Long+Canadian+wait...
Have you ever seen an article about people going to Canada for superior medical care? No. Canadian medical care is clearly cheaper but also inferior.
UK: Start getting paid year 5
USA: Start getting paid year 9
Big difference
Whatever you say on this does not line up with reality.
The UK, a nation of 60 million, has 120,000 people waiting over 6 months for surgery: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-patients-waiti...
That would be equivilant to over 640,000 people waiting over 6 months for surgery in a country with 320 million people.
The wait times do not compare. They are 10x, 20x worse in Europe.
My actual findings (2017): United States: $9250 Canada: $6600 Ratio: 1.40
I think your graph is fake news.
Sources: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/04/20/5247741... https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/canada-to-spend-more-than-6-60...
That graph is not even accurate.
This says Canada's health care spending is $6600 per person: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/canada-to-spend-more-than-6-60... while your graph says its $4500. Those numbers aren't even in the same ballpark.
