  • Why are we OK with doctors and nurses working double or triple shifts?

  • Hospitals shouldn't be "making money" directly. They are there to heal people. A healed worker is an indirect gain to the economy. Good care and good prevention mean a stronger, fitter, and more productive society.

    I bet that the better the care a hospital provides, the less recurring patients it will have and the quicker it will be able to release patients.

  • We aren't "powerless". Every time we go to the voting booth we can change things a little. If people vote for a conservative party that keeps wanting to move the needle backwards to "the good old days", this is the shit we will get: underfunded healthcare, an ever-hotter world, war in the Middle East, untaxed uber-rich, and overworked essential workers.

  • The study only concludes that this manner of handing off is risky, nothing more. Going "our method of handing off is bad, so we will extend work hours and continue handing off in the same way" is piss-poor conclusion. Change the way things are handed off e.g let the physician tail the other physician for 1hour to 30 minutes into their shift, improve the data collection and data display methods to allow a clear patient status to be shown, etc.

    Additionally, the study doesn't compare handoff risk to work-length risk. You're taking one single data point and drawing wide-ranging conclusions from it.

  • How is nursing a backup? Are the requirements that low in the US (I'm assuming "Southwest" is in the US?)

  • We should just start supporting policies that improve the conditions of the healthcare system, but, that would require a majority of people agreeing to improve things globally. Good luck with that.

    How is that not "being OK with it"? Healthcare has been underfunded for decades and we just accept it. The majority consistently votes on "lower taxes" and now it's "iMmIgRaNtS". Healthcare barely matters - unless it's COVID, then suddenly it's an issue.

  • What are you talking about? I live in Europe and this is standard. I know midwives, nurses, and doctors and they have the worst work schedules. I think in France health workers can even be prohibited from striking. The government declared it an "essential" job and when there aren't enough workers, striking isn't allowed. THey are always understaffed, so they aren't allowed to strike. GReat eh?

  • I don't understand why people aren't voting for the uber-rich to pay their fair share. Billionaires pay less tax percentage-wise than any worker out there and it's all because we focus so much on income tax. The uberrich don't have income - the have wealth, which isn't taxed.

  • That seems very US specific. In Europe, we have universal healthcare, but it's chronically underfunded.

  • My thoughts exactly. Overworking is bad in general, but in life-or-death industries, it shouldn't be happening.

  • Dude, chill. Everyone has sexual fantasies. It's even a healthy part of relationships to continuously have sexual desires for your partner(s). Suppressing and repressing those are a very religious reaction to sex and attraction.

    Not all sexual fantasies are the same, of course, but you're immediately jumping to "sexual fantasies are objectification". It's puritanical. Maybe something happened in your life that makes you think that way but painting with broad strokes and such knee-jerk reactions are not helpful.

  • It's very well-known that partners most long-term relationships have a lower frequency of sexual intercourse. Humans get used to the things that are around them and that's quite normal. It's why the trope of "spicing up" the relationship or things in the bedroom is a trope: it happens a lot.

    But also, getting less horny doesn't necessarily mean less horny for the person you are with. It can easily mean horniness for others.

  • Yeah, there must be something different going on at the biological level. I imagine that because you know what's coming during autostimulation, the experience is very different - similar to tickling. Tickling yourself is nowhere near the experience it is as when somebody tickles you.

    And there is also a big difference between fucking and making love.

  • Saying the quiet part out loud. At that age, your hormones are still on the fritz. It'll take until ~25 for them to quiet down. For some it's earlier, for others it later, but generally, that's around the time it happens.

    My theory on why this is persistent for some is because they are horny with no release beyond self-release. It's combined with traditional and religious society too that has strong gender roles i.e male has to court the female which creates a power imbalance. If we lived in a place where sex and sexual attraction weren't seen as aberrant and supposed to be suppressed, we could have a much healthier society with better interactions between people attracted to each other.

    Imagination isn't bad, as long as you treat everybody with respect. Having sexual fantasies about every woman you see, to me, isn't unhealthy or a sign of a problem - unless your actions become negative. Your 20s are your prime. It's the time to make mistakes and learn from them. Ask people out, take chances, try and go on dates, but don't let it consume or define you. Don't be or become an animal driven by lust. You are more than a walking penis that requires wetness every day.

    What Smart Operators Are Doing Now

    • Charter, don’t own — for New York trips. Ownership-based taxes require an owner. Charter clients flying on a per-trip basis have structural insulation from registration, basing, and ownership surcharges.
    • Move your aircraft out of New York. If your aircraft is currently based or registered in New York State, that is your single largest exposure point. Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire are the most common rebasing destinations. Act before the rule is written.
    • Know your airports. Teterboro (TEB) remains operationally superior but are Port Authority facilities and therefore in scope. Westchester (HPN) is the most insulated option available.
    • Watch Albany, not just City Hall. Mamdani’s ability to implement airport-level taxes requires coordination with Governor Hochul and the New Jersey governor’s office. Monitor state budget negotiations closely.
