    but apparently not via Apple Store apps.

    I think you missed the part about Rickets. "Without enough of it, bones can become thin, brittle and misshapen, causing a condition called rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults" Rickets in children has been and continues to be a problem, especially amongst the poor in America. When you see very bowlegged or bandy legged children, most likely you are seeing children who suffer from rickets. http://articles.latimes.com/20... https://www.medscape.com/viewa... https://abcnews.go.com/Health/... https://www.webmd.com/children...

  3. Re: not all doctors make $150k on NYU Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships for All Medical Students (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    this article is about helping us get more doctors who can then choose to work in fields that pay less and areas where doctors are scarcer. The points raised by the OP are valid, but that is not what this article is about, so off topic. Example, I complain about my cars transmission and you point out that the tires suck too. True, they may, but that has nothing to do with the transmission. And as far as tech jobs go, we all know that Big Business OWNS all our elected officials and writes the laws for them, so, the fact that they rape the IT workforce (as an example) is what you would expect... among other things (raping the environment, raping the workforce in general, not paying taxes, etc)

  4. Re:Great news on NYU Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships for All Medical Students (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    Doctors do make enough money to pay their student loans... unless they go practice in poor areas of the country, native American lands for example. Then their several hundred thousand in loans would never be paid off... Hence programs like this to encourage people getting medical doctorates to consider General Practice and consider doing so in poorer parts of the country... Without programs like this, doctors are pushed toward specialization, which pays LOTS better, and pushed toward practices in wealthier areas of the country. Leaving the poor behind.

  5. Apparently ripping off others work is 'innovation' these days. https://rendezvous.blogs.nytim... https://www.techinasia.com/chi... This is just another example.
