Where is all the money going healthcare? I went to urgent care and was given ibuprofen for a herniated disc. I waited hours and the doctor spent 2 minutes with me before running back out. Was charged like $600. Who got that money if not the doctors and nurses? Even with overhead they were churning people.
Bonus question: where is all the money going in education? I’m passing $1200 for a physics class off 300 and the PhD student running it makes $28k/yr
The workers don't see that money, their owners do. and the shareholders see some of it sometimes.
HC: Insurance companies.
Uni: Administration. There are more administrators than teaching staff. A lot more.
That's funny, it seems like in every industry humanity has invented there's a tiny owner class just skimming a huge chunk off the top like parasites.
I guess they just tank the drain/hit until they keel over from exsanguination.
Those people used to be secretaries, janitors, laborers, farm hands, etc. Now we call the administrators, clerks, representatives, etc.
For universities, you're right. Tuition costs have linearly scaled with both reductions in state taxes devoted to universities and the number and salary of nonfaculty university employees, but the number of faculty or average faculty salaries haven't been strongly correlated with tuition over time. It used to be the case that each college had one dean, and now many have 10, and sometimes up to 30. Not to mention all of their administrative assistants, etc.
And worse, many of them pay people to sit on boards and do nothing but insert bureaucracy. Higher end colleges also pay famous people to be staff that don't teach but "advise" the boards and staff.
how are those brave hero cops able to face such a dangerous enemy without an urban assault vehicle.. must be compensating with air power..
They had to summon that many cops just for some peaceful nurses. It'll required atleast 8 cops to take one down. And 16 to watch their backs.
corporations need to be put in their fucking place (their rights should be very literally nonexistent compared to the rights of humans)
And the police that protect them.
