    I’m curious how much of that “rebound” is actually just finally getting the gig economy tax data.

    @Jolly said in Did a doc even see this guy?: In my experience. That's my point. You have probably had a wider experience of rural/semi-rural hospitals which, as you say, might draw more from foreign-trained docs. My experience is 100% urban/suburban. The suburban place drew from a lot of other hospitals so it was pretty broad-based. Both places were non-discriminatory as to the percentage of idiots.

    @Axtremus said in Critique on Macro Economic Modeling: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/04/economic-models-trump-tax-cut/673749/ "WE HAVEN’T BEEN MEASURING HOW THE ECONOMY REALLY WORKS Questionable theoretical assumptions drive economic models to rubber-stamp disastrous policy changes." Main point seems to be that prevailing models still assume a competitive economy while the market has really become more consolidated. It talks of some economists creating a new model that takes market concentration into account and compared them. Cant read the article. What is exactly meant by market concentration? More industries are becoming almost like "monopolies" with only a few companies controlling all?

    @George-K said in "Don't tell the parents!": Secondly, his, HIS, "prowess" got the attention of the judges? What, are they saying that teh wimmenz are not good at chess? I agree. In mental sports, there should not be any difference (or have separate) competitions for men and women.
