There’s a Reddit thread about this:
Interesting circular logic. You don’t have enough #healthcare providers to support #retirees but make it very onerous for #doctors and #nurses to buy land
If they want to rent an apartment, they’d live in Toronto or Vancouver 🤔

Not sure that is the BEST strategy to lure #healthcare workers, who tend to like to own their own homes.
If you get some of these ridiculous 17th century laws off your books you may have even more success #Canada
This week we had our #Canadian #Parliament #internship comrades in DC. They are incredibly smart, and I got to go to briefing at #Canadian embassy and speak to #Canada expert at Hopkins SAIS.
Canada has its own weird quirks- like on Prince Edward Island you can’t buy property without PEI bloodline
Idk but I wouldn’t trust that institution with anything. This guy looks as skeezy as he acts and is pro-eugenics and anti-science and proud of the fact that he podcasts instead of doing clinical work (and criticizes research instead of doing research) so what’s even the excuse to welcome him back
If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.
None of these contrarian types who gladly went to work at HHS under anti-vax conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr. should ever work in academia again.
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Vinay Prasad, M.D.
He's dissolving Ohio State University
the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
My WBC count was up to 18 at one point from my #autoimmune disease. I don't think I've ever been on #antibiotics in my life honestly 😂 (had COVID a couple of times, and influenza, but never a #bacterial infection) - I'd refuse even if someone pushed on me unless I had imaging evidence of infiltrate
Both the opening and closing track on #RootsManuva #BrandNewSecondHand

Both the instrumentals (brooding, #orchestral) and the rap lyrics
Literally every single person I've ever met over age 70 knew someone who either died or was hospitalized for weeks to months with #measles complications
I'm a #Geriatrician and #history was my favorite subject growing up (these are in fact related), but seriously, has anyone ever met or had a conversation with anyone over 70 years old? How could anyone not know how bad it was?
#MurderSheWrote obviously.
My favorite episode ever.
The #CabotCove episodes were always my favorites, and this one was so insane, and that #bulldog and his wiggly butt so cute, I go back to it time and again as stress relief
Honest question, don’t people get bored by the weather in the motherland hometown? 😂
I’m too #Midwest pilled, I need 4 distinct seasons, with snow, thunderstorms and shorts within the same week to feel alive
My parents, however, are in a good mood lol
This isn't good.
AHRQ Funding Opportunities for Primary Care, Demonstration and Dissemination, and Health Services Research cancelled.
A reminder that #AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is the only part of HHS strictly dedicated to studying and improving health care delivery.
Prices are up 30 cents since this post and the nearby liquor store has taken down its decade-old Trump Wine display this shit is so monumentally over.
The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.
Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
in #February besides mounds of snow on the ground there was weekend day that was like -20F windchill. Besides going to a popular and excellent #Afghan restaurant close to where I was staying I couldn’t do anything that day. Somehow the frigid days here are even worse than Midwest
Warm now though!
Finally shutting off both my #legislative and #medical computers and playing #tourist in DC for the first time in 4 months when it’s warm enough. Going to the International #Spy Museum tomorrow! As someone who loves all things #espionage I’m excited
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
Keep in mind this is the second time he’s leaving and Makary begged him to come back.
Very unhealthy codependency here 🤷🏻♀️
The good news: LMAO ROTFL 😂🤣
The bad news: he will be welcomed back with open arms at #UCSF and #academicmedicine in general when he should have spent the rest of his career unemployed and ashamed

FWIW not only is the #DowJones not at 50,000, today it is lower than it’s 2025 peak. If it gets to 45,000 it’ll be lower than its 2024 peak under…Joe Biden
Prior to the new Gulf War, our economy was slowing, inflation rising, our fiscal condition deteriorating.
Now we are going to prices rise further, the economy slow further, our fiscal condition worsen. All of this makes what Trump is doing in the Middle East look far more reckless.
My first full beginning to end project as a #Legislative #Staffer. I wrote this, and some really awesome people signed on!
