One of the things that I think few people talk about with changing the game here too is the impact of becoming and being a doctor.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you compress everything in a nationalized way, doctors in other countries are just run of the mill professionals. They aren't making the huge money that specialists over here are and they lack the prestige the "my son is a doctor" provides. When you go from making $1 million a year to $200k a year (especially considering the laborious and difficult route of becoming a doctor) you are going to get a lot less quality and cream of the crop is my estimation. We would need to really skinny down the whole process is my guess.

Doesn't matter when you are talking about things that affect 90% of gen pop, but when talking about bleeding edge disease management and treatment and hyperspecifity in very important (cardiology, neurology, etc.) adn less important (say, dermatology or cosmetic plastic surgery), you may have few great options and a lot of options that look like what people fly to Turkey and Mexico for.

Again, you seem to be answering your own question.  From a societal standpoint, is it better to support a system that affects 10 percent of the general population at the expense of 90%?  Medical outcomes in the countries where doctors lack the "prestige" and considerable wealth of doctors here are better.  It's almost as if we've set up our society to benefit the monied minority at the expense of the rest of the population....

One of the more interesting items from this whole thing is the implication from them knowing he boarded a bus in Atlanta. 

That means there is likely a video database capturing huge streams of video data from all over the country, holding it for weeks/months/years? and using facial recognition scanning to ID the person. I’m unclear how this is constitutionally legal. 

There could be other paths to this data, but seems low probability. 

You can film people in public spaces, use tech to ID and track movements, sell as a service to LE.   I think it's best to assume that outside your home you are being recorded at all times.

As I mentioned, I was simply stating facts and not in any way what I would choose to do or my opinion on the matter, but you can conduct yourself in whatever "manor" you believe.

I too always challenge the board at large to admit they would turn something down that I would easily turn down. No one believes you.

He shoulda ridden a Mexico bus. Bet they don't have video data on the Mexico bus.

That Penis guy says they already caught him, are you suggesting we can’t trust Mr Penis? 

I only know one Penis well. I feel like I can trust him but he doesn't listen and I haven't been able to train him. What were we talking about?

Oh yeah, they have a good photo of him. And they have people who can identify him. They have DNA evidence and know that he came to NYC by bus and stayed in a hostel. With all the press, I assume that the FBI has probably been searching browser history of leads and that coupled with Greyhound records should be enough.

Wait. Are you saying Dale Earnhardt revealed himself back to world at Delay Plaza with JFK Jr. last Nov 22nd, because Trump won the election. So that he can kill healthcare CEOs. 

 

It actually wasn't Dale.   

The real perp was.....you guessed it, Frank Stallone

It really would be so perfectly American if this murder was the straw and a camels back for the Federal Government to act on Healthcare reform.

 

I'm not hopeful, but you never know.

from Reddit on the question of whether or not this dude gets caught:

Quote

He escaped through central park, using blind spots to avoid cameras. He came to NYC via bus ticket from Atlanta, bought with a fake ID. There was thorough preparation and planning. It's now been almost 48 hours since the shooting.

I have to wonder if this guy was acting alone or if there weren't more involved.

I’m thinking others were involved also. He was seen on one camera right before shooting on his phone. Also, how did he know this CEO was likely going to be walking alone, or where his hotel was? Seems like a planned operation with at least a couple people involved.

He was holding a phone up to his ear. That doesn’t mean he was talking to someone or that it was even on 

Also, TIL that NYC has hostels. Thought that was just a foreign thing

Hostels are in every major city. Stayed in one in Denver a few years ago it was a fucking blast 

My son and a buddy stayed at one in Amsterdam, because they were on the cheap.

Got shitfaced.  Ate late night McDonalds.  He ended up hopping up in the middle of the night and repeatedly, and loudly, destroying the single shitter, which was right outside the sleeping room.

The story made us all laugh.  He was not as amused.

I remember staying in a hostel in Manhattan around thirty years ago.   Four bunk beds in a tiny room.  One fat middle aged guy who looked to be there on business was asleep when I arrived and asleep when I returned from cavorting about that evening.  He snored like a freight train.  Everyone in the room gave up their blankets to pile them up on top of him in an attempt to drown out the noise.  I was mildly worried he might suffocate but was more concerned with getting some sleep.   He was gone when I woke up, so he was either okay, or the staff carted his carcass off while I was sleeping off a doozy of a hangover.

This guys floating suicide via “assassination” theory”. “I’ll be on this street at this exact time wearing this incredibly bright blue jacket. Do me in”

 

No one stupid enough to agree to a “set yourself up to take the fall for my fake murder” scheme would be smart enough to get away for even this long.  I doubt they’d be capable of buying a Greyhound ticket.

I saw this on an episode of fantasy island a million years ago. Came on right after the love boat.

Is there any video of a couple of dudes in white suits? One significantly shorter than the other?

If you’re around college age and don’t spend a few weeks backpacking around europe staying in youth hostels, you’re doing it wrong.

I took a month off after a break up and met girls from florida, michigan, and mexico city. I’d meet them in hostels. I'd meet girls on the trains between cities, and we’d go stay some place together. We’d tour the city together.

Ended up dating the girl from florida that I met at a hostel in london. 

Youth. Don’t waste it.

That might be correct, but this one they probably got his name from the flirtatious ho at the hostel.  Cross checked that with the one major bus service that services the US and it found a match.

If we are now declaring open season on overpaid CEOs, might I suggest as the next one on the list a certain illegal immigrant from a racist African country?

Would be a shame and very wrong if someone posted the REAL assassination coordinates
