I don't get it either. isn't turpentine just a paint thinner, sometimes used in mixes to make varnishes or clean furniture? smells awful.
This man has unlimited IQ.
I just don't understand how. like, why?
Beauty is objective. You're a racist p.o.s., and you're really weird.
There is an entire study of the field of beauty, whole philosophical disciplines, and you want me to sum it up in one comment? Ha, nice try.
I took a job as a medical assistant. I was not certified. It was during COVID, and the manager was woefully understaffed. I had zero experience or training. They still hired me, because in her words "we can teach you everything you need to know, and your resume demonstrated you were a good learner so that's all that matters." (I had taught myself Chinese and coding, and put that on the resume).
I worked my butt off, and after two years when I had to leave to go back to school they offered me a massive raise, more training to get me a promotion as an actual technician to start making 80k/year, and they even said when I finished grad school I could be taken on as a partner and own the business (it was a small clinic). They wanted to do anything to get me to stay.
All these companies these days care too much about certs. They don't know how to hire. They should look for resume's that demonstrate learning, initiative, responsibility, and commitment. Because at the end of the day: almost anyone can learn any job that isn't a PhD-level.
Like, having managers be required to have a college degree is moronic.
TLDR yes, they are wrong.

Prisoner's dilemma. As a pharmaceutical company, you know theoretically a cure for a given chronic illness exists. What you don't know is if your competitor is close to having one. If they are, it would render your pathetic non-curative regimes obsolete and you'd lose billions and be decades behind. Shareholders would be calling for blood, and if you're the CEO or board exec you'd lose your head. So you work on developing the drug because even if its possibly less profitable, its still in your best interest to do the research.
-
Most people doing this kind of research are universities, which are publicly funded and would gain more profit from a curative drug than they would from letting big pharma continue using non-curative regimens.
-
Government has strong interest in developing cures because chronic illness is a massive drain on the economy costing billions of dollars, with significant public health costs that eat into government budgets that politicians would much rather spend on things like weapons or parking meters that accept credit cards.
OP in 1939* "Why isn't there a cure for the consumption?! must be because the travelling physicians wouldn't make any money!"
This is a moronic take.
He comes from a rich family. And even if they refuse to pay for his defense, let the privileged brat experience a public defender for once. Jeez.
agreed. just for the record so nobody plays the "you never denied it" card: I'm totally opposed to antisemitism, I denounce discrimination on the basis of any ethnicity, race, or gender in the strongest possible terms.
Reddit sucks. They're the reason I came to Lemmy. They're absolute trash.
