And doctors are still paid as the result of daily LABOR.
They're WORKERS.
They're rich. But they're not The Rich.
This is not a high hurdle to get over, but I see people fall over it every day.
If you're equating doctors with Elon Musk, you are 100% not ready to be having these conversations.

doctor who makes 200K annual is VERY comfortable. That’s not wealth hoarding though lol
It’s Facebook and Amazon paying no taxes for the last decade, its being allowed to take out loans on unrealized gains in the hundreds of millions, capital gains tax lower than the tax rate of ppl who make 55k

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Gorgeous colorizations of trans history images,
and a lot of incredible stories, including many lesser-known to many (A Zapatista colonel, a "transvestite pass" issued in 1928, the Scottish nobleman who the courts ruled should inherit his baronetcy in the 60s... for example...)

I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is.
But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.

If you publish words in the public square (that's what "publish" means)
they are public
and no longer yours to control
nobody owes tagging you or talking to you privately if they're gonna critique what you said
that is the inherent risk of making things

Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.
