That's not why residency was created, and it's not what the AMA cared about.

Thought experiment: remove all residents from the hospitals. What do you think the result would be? The answer will tell you plenty about your claim that they aren't adding much value.

Lol lmao at the idea that hospitals are going to replace their thousand plus residents, who are doing 60-90 hours of work every week, with attendings who won't work that much and will cost 3-10 times as much. Just lol. And imagine taking hospitals at face value that residents don't provide value. That is, on its face, a stupid claim.

Medicare pays over 100k to hospitals per resident just for literally having them there, not even accounting for the work they do. A third year resident physician at Montefiore makes 77k. So yeah, the hospital can afford to increase their pay and benefits, to say nothing of working conditions.

The only reason hospitals get away with this is the ACGME (accredits physician residency) has made it so doctors are (1) matched into a program and then (2) absolutely cannot leave the program if they want to become licensed. It's absolutely insane. I bet your employer would pay you less and treat you like shit too if your options were to work there or go find a totally new career after 8+ years of education and hundreds of thousands in student loans.

Lol so instead they get a truck stop. Also, they're going to get priced out even faster if there isn't new development, because limiting supply will just keep driving up prices. So your proposal is basically to screw over everyone, residents who will get priced out and everyone else in the city who wants development to bring prices under control.

And that still has nothing to do with race. You're arguing for neighborhoods of a many million person city to get veto power over development we all desperately need. Nope. Thankfully people are coming around and rejecting such foolish viewpoints.

This isn't a fucking race thing, this is a NYC has a crisis in housing thing and opposing building 900+ new units on the spot of an empty goddamn lot means you are complicit in that crisis.

If Adams and the city are serious about fixing the housing crisis they'll tell Jordan to fuck off, take the incredibly good offer, and move forward. If she won't, they need to ignore her and push it through anyway.

That kind of thinking is literally the problem and why we're in the midst of a housing affordability crisis.

So Richardson knows all these problems and decided to play such stupid games that instead of adding hundreds of units of affordable housing, the area instead gets a truck stop. How the fuck is that fighting for her constituents???

That's an argument for why representative process is important, i.e. give people a chance to voice their concerns, not an argument for why we need to give councilors veto power.

The whole problem is thinking of homes as things to have value and not commodities that naturally depreciate like your car.

Oh good the AG is gonna reward James for her shit behavior. How about instead the city council tells James to fuck off and goes back to the developer with a reasonable offer for housing?
