> its just a milestone to continue to maintain positive public sentiment and attract talent

Google’s talent is solid B tier in 2026. Better than IBM but worse than Microsoft and Amazon.

Even if Google had “talent” this talent wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything due to corporate politics.

Being a doctor in America has a high barrier to entry.

It’s not because medical science is difficult.

It’s because the American Medical Association (aka, doctor’s union) limits the number of new doctors and medical students each year.

If you 2x the number of medical students, resulting in 1.5x number of qualified doctors, resulting in perhaps 20-30% lower salaries, and maybe 5-10% lower cost to patients.

But no, preserving a doctor’s middle-class salary is more important than lowering patients’ costs.

Agreed.

I say: “if you want a human response, then give human effort”
