    Your own link [1] says "Ob/Gyn about $30,000- $35,000". The OP said "an Ob's ins CAN COST 71k a year" [emphasis mine] so doesn't sound 'flat out wrong' to me. Next - could you expl…

    Yep, it doesn't go far enough - even if all countries did everything in the accord we wouldn't change anything. If this was a business setting, a proposal like this would be laughe…

    Point taken. That's why I am here to sort of point out a counter argument to DHH. He seems to be calling for consumer activism without making a serious case (at least for me) so as…

    I skimmed through the article fast, so here is what I gleaned: 1. Donald Trump is bad, Thiel is bad for supporting him. 2. There are problems at Uber 3. ... ? 4. Lets punish ALL sh…
