<p>> Things like pilots on flights with autopilot;<p>Funny, I was going to mention exactly that. I'm a private pilot with a modern autopilot and flying is exhausting. Partly because the piston engine is rattling your brain the entire time but also because you're on high alert the entire time. You're always making sure the autopilot is keeping the plane on the blue (or green) line and is being <i>predictable</i>. And my smartwatch shows my heart rate is usually more elevated on autopilot than not.</p>

<p>Starlink recently implemented new rules for satellites that travel more than 100mph. Service is deactivated unless they have a valid government ID and an aircraft's tail number attached to the account. While both can be faked, you could arguably correlated a provided tail number with ADS-B data because anyone with a Starlink is likely also broadcasting ADS-B. But it also provides a bit of 1:1 correlation on satellites and there is a finite number of tail numbers out there.<p>They also jacked up the subscription price which caused thousands of actual pilots to cancel their service. So expect a flood of used Starlink Minis to enter the market soon.</p>

<p>private equity doesn't create efficiencies. The real world is not some MicroEcon 101 class.<p>> “As our investigation revealed, these financial entities are putting their own profits over patients, leading to health and safety violations, chronic understaffing, and hospital closures.  Take private equity firm Leonard Green and hospital operator Prospect Medical Holdings: documents we obtained show they spent board meetings discussing profit maximization tactics—cost cutting, increasing patient volume, and managing labor expenses—with little to no discussion of patient outcomes or quality of care at their hospitals.  And while Prospect Medical Holdings paid out $645 million in dividends and preferred stock redemption to its investors—$424 million of which went to Leonard Green shareholders—it took out hundreds of millions in loans that it eventually defaulted on.  Private equity investors have pocketed millions while driving hospitals into the ground and then selling them off, leaving towns and communities to pick up the pieces.”<p><a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/private-equity-in-health-care-shown-to-harm-patients-degrade-care-and-drive-hospital-closures" rel="nofollow">https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/private-e...</a></p>

<p>the largest issue in American health care is private equity and middle men raising the cost of everything.<p><i>edit</i> if doctor scarcity were the issue then doctors would have a lot more leverage in salary negotiations than they do, which is to say they don't have much. because the hiring practices are limited by what they can bill, which they have no power over.</p>
