It can go "swell", but when it doesn't then it's a train wreck of the worst sort. And boy do the blame and the finger pointing go into overdrive when the wreck happens.
Preface, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. I also hunt and have killed and butchered animals for meat.
That people consider meat an inelastic good shows a cultural and commercial brainwashing. The idea that an individual or family could go without meat is practically heresy in the United States. Frankly, it's ridiculous and shows a fundamental lack of imagination and willingness to accept that reality doesn't guarantee anyone's ability to acquire cheap hamburger, chicken breasts, bacon, or any other meat.
Absolutely, this is a often ignored or missed aspect of building systems. Quantifying risk in a fashion that all parties have the same understanding of said risk can be very difficult. There has to be a common language and agreed upon thresholds of risk. After developing shared understanding of risk, it's much easier to highlight and change the behaviors of individuals and the teams.
This is absolutely not petty, you are doing your job (to provide value to the organization) and doing it extremely well. The work you are doing provides more value to your organization than you seem to realize. If I were your manager I would be pushing to get you a raise/promotion with this as the reason.
The free market will fix it. People who need these drugs can just shop around and get a better deal. What's the alternative? Socialism? gasp (This is sarcasm.)
I mean look at beaglebeaches. He seems more concerned with the hypothetical fairness or unfairness of "redistribution" rather than whether he will get effective care for a reasonable price.
I go to the wild West of Mexico when I need healthcare. Because it is basically unregulated, I don't need to use my shitty health insurance, and because private doctors are available I'm not subject to whims from goons from the state.
Needing to use insurance or state care on a regular basis for normal care is symptom of a disease, that the system is so over regulated a normal person can't just pay cash for regular care like I can do in Mexico. When you can buy a Z-pak or penicillin OTC with a yo quero you've reached the first level of medical nirvana.
Sure but the regulatory barriers are so high it's not fiscally practical for a normal person. I can walk into a pharmacy in Mexico and buy a Z-pak for strep; even for a poor Mexican that's easily obtainable all without insurance or state care.
I make a good wage but in USA with good insurance it would take me a days pay for same here after passing all the regulatory hurdles and costs and being billed for a doctor and that doctors malpractice risk overhead etc ad nauseum.
I'm not sure what you mean by high regulatory barriers. I make an appointment, the very next question is "do you have insurance?" When the answer is no they inform me what it will cost, I pay with a credit card at thet time services are rendered and thats all there is to it.
Whats regs got to do with it?
