  1.  @OffGridInvestor my company proposed making anyone who was unwilling to get vaccinated wear a yellow wrist band. A legitimate proposal by a very large company. Instead they decided to enforce a vax mandate and we lost approximately 1/3 of the company and were due to lose another 1/4 but they reversed the mandate requirement at the last second.

  2. I work with many “doctors” in Germany specifically. A doctorate in Germany is equivalent to an undergraduate degree in the US - maybe a masters if you’re lucky. People manage to get their PhD at 17 and start with a company. They never leave the company so no one ever questions the PhD.

  3. All our ultra sounds showed our daughter to be too big to enter the birth canal and she never descended but the external measurements showed her as normal size (estimated 7 lbs while ultrasound said 8+). I wanted to be induced early because she wasn’t moving but the doc wanted to wait. We waited and got induced 4 days after she was due (for other reasons). I was in labor for about 14 hours before the doc finally admitted she wasn’t moving down and I wasn’t dilating (and the labor was pretty painless at that even at the full dose of meds which should have given it away). She said I could keep trying until the morning but I wasn’t hopeful so we called it for a C-section. Turned out my daughters head was to big to go anywhere and had they kept me on the high dose of pictosen for much longer she would have gotten stuck and it would have been an emergency C-section in the middle of the night without my doctor in attendance and just the resident. Glad we called it when we did.

  4. This would only work in Germany or authoritarian cultures. They don’t question authority and ever questioning someone “above you” is seen as a terrible misstep. For instance my coworkers were astonished to hear that Highschool and college students may “cheat” on homework. They literally couldn’t comprehend someone stepping out of the social norm.
