Worked for a doc like you. Was a physiatrist by trade. Said he hated dealing with people. Wanted to treat paper instead.

Theres a joke in there somewhere about how since I'm black I have bigger balls than you, but I cant quite figure out how to word it with the most zing right now.
There has been 1 doctor on here that has rejected the idea of black men being better "equipped" than us honkies.
Of course, he is white, so his medical opinion is suspect.

What else did he say, smoking is good for you?
Okay this is hard for me to say without sounding mad homo, but I've seen alot of naked old men in the OR during my surgery rotation at the VA. And the difference was umm, quite noticeable.
Not that I was like, looking or anything, you know. I was just tryna do my job bro. No homo.

Let's go ahead and nip this one in the bud before things just get uncomfortably gay.
Umkay.

Huh? Segregation is a neutral term. It can be forced, voluntary or by happenstance.

When you post nonsense like this, I have to backtrack on any credit I may have given you.

What in the everloving frick do you mean by "mistake"? Some people end up with less than others. Honest to God, if I took some of your post history literally, I'd think you were a borderline sociopath.

not saving/investing enough of earnings over a lifetime to support issues that arise in your post-working years, or doing things that prohibit you from working in your older years to help

and my response was in response to tuba posting this insanity

gentrification will mean a lot of the old folks are gonna have to go with very little to show for it.
they have "very little to show for it" because of their own choices. i'm not making a subjective evaluation of their life choices, but i'm not going to be upset b/c they have "nothing to show for" their inability to invest properly, leaving them out of the economic boom of their area gentrifying around them

so do you often directly pay for the mistakes of others? i don't. i do some pro bono work, but that's indirect

Let's posit the following. A person is born to a poor family that places little, if any, value on education. The kid does well enough in high school, but not enough to obtain a scholarship. In any event, this person goes to work at, say, a hardware store and becomes an assistant store manager. Works hard and is a good employee. After awhile, he/she is able to put a little money aside each month, but the idea of having a large IRA or a 401k is unrealistic.
Exactly what "mistake" did this person make? I can't wait to hear your answers. In fact, I can almost anticipate them.

side note. we need to start assigning blame and punishing what leads to this. i'm fine not blaming the current generation of kids, but their parents (and the kids, once they become parents) need to be held accountable. no group should be able to have it both ways and escape all blame

none. i'd imagine they would be able to save for a downpayment on a home, and if they continue to work, they'll own that home. if gentrification happens, they will GREATLY benefit from gentrification (as their property value will skyrocket)

hell, economically they're going to be "ahead" well into working life compared even to a doctor

Well, here's the deal. About 35-40% of my practice is billed at below market (I'm no hero, but I think people deserve legal counsel when they need it). And a lot of that work is helping people in financial difficulty. Based on my experience, there are a lot of decent, and hard-working people who end up in a tenuous financial situation in their middle age or older. Can you make a logical argument that they may be better off if at some point they'd made choice B rather than choice A? Sure. Hell, that would be the same for all of us.
