The unhappiest people I know are the golddiggers. They cannot escape the feeling that they’re being taken advantage of. That the pie is so big anyways, and they deserve a little more, you know? And oh look, here comes somebody offering just a little more. What kind of sucker wouldn’t want to get paid what they’re really worth?
They’re unhappy because they let other people control their sense of self-worth.
It is obvious. People will leave wireless mice plugged in all the time out of superstition or worry. Apple’s way elegantly eliminates that possibility. Anybody who wants to plug in their wireless mouse may purchase another.
The problem is that is exactly the case. There are people who love doing heroin, shitting on cars, smoking meth, terrorizing tourists, and committing minor property crimes and acts of vandalism. It takes a certain amount of activism to enable that behavior. That activism is the opposite of apathy.
Germany saves money by paying doctors $70k/yr. There isn’t a clever, low-impact policy shift that’ll save a ton of money in the US. Something really big has to give.
German doctors have much lower school debt and relatively lower tort exposure. Salaries in Germany are significantly lower across the board, so German physicians enjoy similar financial positioning relative to other professionals, and high social status.
Any attempt to reduce physician salaries in the US is going to have to also address medical school debt and physician insurance requirements & administrative overhead.
Some doctors are paid that little in Germany. Here’s an comparative analysis on 2008 data: average net outflows to physicians are higher, but it seems like US physicians may be receiving a substantially larger slice of the budgetary pie https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.2010....
That shows MDs making almost twice what you claimed ($130k vs. $70k). Not as high as Americans but that seems insufficient to explain the huge cost differential.
Historically on built-in iOS apps settings go in the Settings app. With that pattern in mind, it makes no sense to have settings in the app itself because the user would be looking in the Settings app.
They’re unhappy because they let other people control their sense of self-worth.
