Yes, this would add four years of practice per doctor without lowering quality.

According to Scott, the real bottleneck is residency slots, not med school. He himself spent a year without practicing because he could not find a residency after graduation. Residency is expensive for the hospital, so it depends on government subsidies, and the government doesn't subsidize enough residency slots to keep up with demand.
As I understand it, one common workaround has been to give more power to nurses and other assistants, while having the actual doctors simply look over and sign their names after the fact, effectively turning them into managers. For example, whenever I go to the local community health center, the person who sees me and prescribes my medicines is always an APRN or a PA, never an MD.
Of course, would be easier to abolish residency.
Back in my day, the big three of the Manosphere were Roissy, Roosh, and Rollo (Dalrock was a distant fourth). But those were bloggers, and it seems like the new meta is streaming? Yet, when I think of big manosphere streamers I think of Andrew Tate, Kevin Samuels, or Richard Cooper. I've never heard of the guys in this documentary.

Social pressure was one of the ways women were coerced into marrying nice guys, along with religious indoctrination, the threat of economic privation, and physical force as a last resort. But you really need all of them.
You can't change girls. What you can do is force them to be with non-assholes. Which we did, for a very long time. Until we suddenly decided that we are too good for that. And now we are going extinct.

What would it actually look like if we had quadrant flairs here? I'm guessing most would be Auth-Right with a significant minority of Lib-Right, a handful of Centrists, the occasional Purple Lib-Right, and virtually no Auth-Left or Lib-Left (sorry, Emily).

The cancelled flights have been great for our hotel. People are getting stranded and getting desperate for rooms. Doubly so with spring break; we're selling them for $300 a pop, and we're still selling out! We haven't had this much business since Winter Storm Fern.
It doesn't. I would much rather have half a doctor than no doctor. Specially when I am not legally allowed to buy any useful medicine without a prescription.
The day when MDs and PAs are so numerous that they are working for minimum wage and you can find one on every street corner is the day when I agree that NPs should be held to a higher standard. Until then, I am in favor of anything that increases the supply of healthcare.
