But it's a proven fact. Less educated people are poorer. The less educated tend to have more children. And children who grow up in poor families receive a lower quality of education.
Is that because of some heritable presence/lack of intelligence or because scientists feed their children well early in life, have books in the home, and take the time to follow up on their children's education?
The ugly thing about eugenics is that someone has an artificial ideal of how people should be and then tries to enforce that. If something just happens without interference (a process), that's basically just evolution.
Indeed. My first job was in a factory doing things that we had machines to do, but not enough of them or efficient enough. I spent the whole time dreaming of automating the factory properly.
Ok. Maybe. In areas I'm familiar with fraud is so widespread as to feel like the simpler answer. But I have no context for places with medical fraud so I bow to your experience here
Absent enforcement, proceeds from fraud are invested in more fraud. Given that fraud exists in this area, the shape of the growth curve suggests fraud as a plausible driver.
Sure if it was just a matter of typing. But in practise it means sitting and staring for minutes at nothing happening with a "thinking" until something finally happens.
I mean my local 122b is only 20t/s so for background stuff it can be used for that. But not for anything interactive IME.

What are you running that local 122b on? I mean, this looks attractive to me for $5/m running unlimited at 20t/s-25t/s, but if I could buy hardware to get that running locally, I don't mind doing so.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck… but is semantically different, except for when most people interact with them.
My point wasn’t that they are identically - my point is that 99% of the time they achieve the same effect. Or they would be if I had swapped the <p> tag for a <span> tag.
Problem with that is that the default browser styling is extremely ugly and the ability for custom style sheets was removed from the browser GUI many years ago. ReaderMode and Addons can help, but as long as the default is essentially broken and unsupported that whole approach remains a dead end.
On top of that come issues like the lack of pagination support in browsers, which make long document impossible to read and practically require to add custom UI inside the website itself.
ePub works much better, with readers giving control over line spacing, font size, pagination and proper markup for TOC and other metadata, but despite ePub being based on xHTML, browsers have ignored it (only old Edge supported it for a little while).
