“brain drain” is always used by right wing and liberalists as an excuse to reduce tax. The only people that really “drains” are the greedy crooks. Calling it “brain drain” just shows what they think of themselves…
University professors, engineers, and doctors (those who are not crooks) will not leave, they have roots at home and will not leave.
Not a doctor, i spent 7 years on post secondary education and i barely raked in a 5 figure student debt to pay off at ultra low interest.
I had a friend studying to become a doctor. Because of that, banks allowed him to take on huge debts and he bought a brand new fully equipped wrangler. No wonder doctors have 6 figures debt if that’s what banks allow them to take… I knew someone else in dentistry who bought a BMW.
Knowing that will make money, they take on more debt. Then they ask to raise salaries… It’s a system that attracts greedy people, the type that will move out of their home country just to make now money.
For me, it would take about 4 times my current salary to move away, because all my family and friends are here.
In fact Alberta researchers have recommended a tougher traffic light system for geothermal projects than the one currently regulating fracking. It would trigger a major evaluation of operations when 1.5 magnitudes occur and shut down the operation at 3.5 magnitude with the goal of keeping all tremors at low magnitude.
When it’s not oil-related, regulations are tougher?
Framing it as an environmental problem always implicitly assumed that people understood we need a good environment to be healthy…
People complain about bonfire restrictions in my city, but when I show my air quality sensor data and the effect it has on breathing and sports performance, they tend to be more open minded.
The council also found that he had violated ethics rules by changing the date of a neighbour’s court appearance for a traffic ticket so he could hear the case — and acquit her — before he retired.
To me that’s the more important issue… It can be hard to measure time accurately, but there’s no excuse for twisting the system to prevent your friend from facing justice!
I have not seen a total one since i was a small kid, so I can’t really say… Totality will have these things last longer, but I’m sure there is no clear-cut difference.
Here’s a couple of differences: With totality, the stars become visible again. The darkness is such that air temperature drops like at sunset. Birds stop signing, and insects start chirping. Also, i think you can see the sun’s corona. While the sun is totally blocked, you can look at it with naked eyes.
I’m not sure how much of this occurs with a 95% eclipse… I would encourage anyone to go to the nearest place to see totality. I will personally visit family living 2 hours drive away to be in the totality zone.
These reports tend to focus on measuring the outcome, because that’s the measurable KPI.
It leaves as an exercise to the reader to guess the cause, and your comment shows exactly what i believed for years. “There is an inequality of outcome because people typically act differently”.
I now realize that the gender pay gap is just the outcome of bias in the workplace… Whether conscious or inconscious. We must recognize them and actively try to counteract their effects of we want to reduce the gender pay gap. Something often criticized as “reversed sexism”.
Here we go again… The web, which is what most people think about when saying “internet”, is an European invention.
So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that “web 2.0” was invented by American companies.
