New York Interns, Robot Workers, and Doctor Shuns ObamaCare Supporters
New York to employers: Using summer interns who don’t get paid is against the law.
This worker doesn’t need health insurance, isn’t included under the new individual and employer mandates and doesn’t pay taxes either. (HT to Marginal Revolution)
Doctor: If you voted for ObamaCare, seek urological care elsewhere.
Magnificent robot. How can I hire him.
Another advantage of the robot is that it won’t require any attitude adjustment. Also, he probably won’t bring personal or family problems to the office.
Few people realize that an employer mandate for low-wage workers will cause employers to substitute capital for labor. Instead of hiring ditch diggers and giving each one a shovel, you buy a backhoe and hire a more highly-skilled operator.
Also for the robot, there is no time and a half overtime pay, no workers comp, no unemployment insurance and no union. What’s not to like?
Interesting, but hardly productive. I noted that the video was running at 50X the actual speed. The video was 2’2″ long. So, the actual time used was about one hour and twenty-two minutes, or over twenty minutes per towel!
Actually, this might be the level of productivity expected from the federally subsidized health IT system!
About senior care: Not only be nice to your spouse, tell your spouse what you want! I’ve visited a lot of nursing homes as part of my job, and there’s nothing worse than pumping someone full of medicine to stop a heart attack when their last six months will be spent bed ridden in a state of semi-consciousness.
Here’s a link to an excellent Frontline video about the problems associated with aging:

P.S. I don’t actually do any medication. But, I’ve seen a lot of people who had no quality of life whatsoever.
Good catch, John. That’s too slow. Guess I’ll wait for the next generation.
BTW, good for the urologist. It’s about time honest doctors took a stand.
