After the surgery you have someone who will never again be a normal person. They take a person who might never have gone to the doctor despite having insurance where you’re guaranteed to get paid to having someone who requires a lifetime of care that insurance needs to pay for who was pre-selected as having insurance.

There’s audio out there of hospital administrators talking about that exact thing.

They don’t think they’re absolutely evil because they also have been indoctrinated into thinking they’re doing the right thing. That’s despite having something where 60-90% of kids are cured if you do nothing and just let them grow up.

I see a lot of people claiming that they need to live in some super Metro City just to advance their career. Frankly, it usually isn’t true. First of all, most new grads moving to the big city are going to be one of a billion people available and so good luck with that. Going to a place with needs but a much smaller talent pool is more likely to result in you getting a job then a place with needs and a massive talent pool.

Then there’s the fact that you’d be building your career in a place with an absolutely ungodly cost of living. Let’s say that you do have a successful career. What’s the point? You’ll be in the top 1% of income, and barely making rent.
