@x3r0gx4 We would never accept this level of customer service from a fast food joint. Yet we pay hundreds for a 10 minute office visit and are treated like we're an inconvenience.

As a public-facing professional, if you can't figure out how to communicate in good faith with all the vastly different people who are paying you enormous amounts of money to put your kids through private school, then you're not a professional

I'm not gonna lie, it is frustrating when you ask a patient what's wrong and they just give you a diagnosis. Like "I have a chest infection". OK, you're probably right but I need to know your symptoms to see if I agree with that diagnosis. I can't just take your word for it.

Q: I am a daughter of legal immigrants… How do we fix the immigration system for people who have been waiting for their green cards for so long?
Vance: I’m marred to the daughter of immigrants. They’re great people. But I also think that when you become an American citizen, one of the responsibilities we must expect of citizens is that you have to think about the best interests of the country and not the country you came from…

Am I wrong to think that a teacher's entirely private life - in which they do nothing illegal or violent - is off limits when it comes to assessing their job performance?
This guy did nothing in front of or near kids. I don't see why his stage performance is relevant.

🚨 Evangelical and Catholic Christians: this immigration crisis has already reached our churches.🚨
Did you know 1 in 12 Christians in America is either undocumented or has a family member who is?
That is millions of Christians potentially at risk of deportation.
Many have been part of our congregations for decades.
Don’t take my word for it…
See the “One Part of the Body” report from the National Association of Evangelicals and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Immigration is also a matter of conscience.
While some churches are more affected than others, the Apostle Paul reminds us that the Church is one body:
“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”
(1 Corinthians 12:26)

@Johnny_Joey The Pope has authority whether you like it or not. He is Christ's vicar on Earth.
English
-Jews don’t believe that Jesus is the son of God or our messiah.
-Mormons believe Joseph Smith re-established Jesus’ church here in America
-Catholics believe the Pope is an earthly representative of Christ.
I dont agree with any of that, nor am I “against” them. I share my country with them, and I share parts of my faith with them. However, I don’t want the leaders of any of those religions or the institutions they lead to have any sort of moral authority over my President.

@Johnny_Joey There's always a "but" with people like you. You are definitely anti-catholic......

Amazon has laid off ~57,000 Americans while keeping existing and new H-1B workers.
Here's one bragging about making $350k while his American coworkers got fired (likely because foreigners protect each other through ethno-nepotism during layoffs).

Willie Rice’s comfort with William Wolfe makes me uncomfortable. How could he know all of this about Wolfe, and welcome his endorsement for the SBC presidency?
John Reasnor@johnandrewwords
William Wolfe, a racist who’s been openly calling on White separatism and segregation, quoting a character who’s a former slave and leader of a revolutionary uprising against a color-coded fascist society. My goodness, the character is a “red” in the book. Is the symbolism too complicated for Wolfe or does he think his followers are stupid?

A foreigner hit an American citizen in Dallas Texas

20yrs ago today, the day after the revelation of no DNA matches in the lacrosse case, Mike Nifong appeared at North Carolina Central University, a HBCU in Durham.
To applause, Nifong said he'd move forward with the case anyway, and would prosecute it the "good old-fashioned way."

@RepMariaSalazar Democracy is meaningless when millions of people were let in and then given voting rights. We were never asked.

You can disagree with me all you want. That’s DEMOCRACY.
But when death threats and hate replaces debate, it becomes the last refuge of cowards. It tells you everything you need to know.
I don’t bow to intimidation. I only stand on facts and values.
That’s how AMERICA works!

There’s a fundamental misconception about what “amnesty” really means. Amnesty is looking the other way: no consequences, no accountability, just more chaos. That’s the system we’ve had for decades.
The Dignity Act ends it with enforcement, accountability, real penalties, and ZERO tolerance for criminals. That’s not amnesty. That’s law and order!

@merindelon @WilliamWolfe I have not see anyone in the SBC endorse those guys

@WilliamWolfe Since I’m relatively new to these quarrels on X, that would include Corey Mahler, Joel Webbon, Michael Spangler, etc., right? Because when we want to oppose the false teaching of J.D. Greear, it’s not helpful if we’ve tolerated other false teachers. Wouldn’t you agree?

@TennesseeDx @DrDiGiorgio Why not improve the system instead of import people willing to work in bad conditions?

@DrDiGiorgio Seems like a bad time to limit the 100k h-1 visa physicians doesn’t it?

The widening gap between "licensed" and "actually practicing" is the biggest driver of physician shortages.
Doctors are increasingly taking early retirement and/or leaving the field for non-clinical work because the practice of medicine has become so miserable.
This goes hand in hand with the death of independent practice.
Doctors who are employees have no reason to keep practicing if they have other means of financial independence. Doctors who have built practices and invested in their community, on the other hand, do continue to practice.
Restore independent physician practices to fix the doctor "shortage."

This is true. Below is trends in US doctors per 1,000 population. Obviously many reasons we would need more physicians per capita today than 1960, but there has been much growth in doctor density — plus recent surge in nurse practitioner and PA supply. Some additional notes:

@BrentAWilliams2 My bru it's the doctors that are whining the they're underpaid

The number of cucks on here whining about how much $$$ physicians make is ridiculous.

HEAL occupations tend to be heavily female, with men representing only 22% of those jobs. This is why more women are joining the labor market at the moment.

@3kwords @rbarbosa91 They're extremely naive that way.
English
@rbarbosa91 Why do doctors always assume that they'd make it to the top of any other career with which they might have engaged and, therefore, that it the senior leaders in other fields who are their peer group and not the common operatives?
English
It turns out that when people that were at the top of the class, and were required to endure extreme self-sacrifice for 15+ years, and start their first real job at age 35, that they do in fact want to be able to live in the nice neighborhood along with the corporate types.
