Really only works for things like this where you have multiple workers working in parallel. Slow people can be made up for by fast employees. In sequential tasks, slow people are a lot more damaging since your output is determined by the slowest process.

Elementary schools used to put all the slow kids in the same math class. There's not much reason why assembly lines can't be similar.

Depends on what they make. That works for something fairly simple since you can easily have space and staff multiple lines. Not so much for things that have a large amount of components.

If you have 10 lines of 5 people, you can go ahead and do that. If you have 1 line of 50, then it isn't an option.

IIRC, there's only a couple of cities that actually have done that. For the most part, potential employees won't be demanding that.

What I'm curious about is how is Amazon setting the packing goals? Is it done by performing time studies and seeing this is reasonably accomplishable or is it like someone saying we need to increase productivity by X amount and just setting it to that?

Unfortunately, it's considered taboo as fuck, and possibly illegal, to pay less productive workers less money.

Hospitals wouldn't really compete much. There tends to be too few in a general area. General practitioners could compete, but the tend to not publicize prices and the insurance system makes it hard for people to freely choose who they want to see.

FLUFFYGERM posted...

For me, any serious conversation on funding universal healthcare is a non-starter until smoking and obesity are resolved.

Let's say 5% of the obese population has a legitimate health issue that makes it hard for them to lose weight. The remaining 25% of that annual health expenditure is so catastrophically high that we shouldn't rush into Bernie's plan to have us subsidize that bullshit with our own labor.

That'd be immensely unfair.

Currently insurance companies contribute towards the issue of overpriced healthcare, so if a plan could be made that reduced those costs(and any plan that doesn't wouldn't be worth considering in the first place), it could offset some of the fat people issues. There would need to be some way to get extra money from them though, I agree with that.

Maybe we could have health care providers charge obese people. Like if you are obese, then their systems will indicate that you need to pay a co-pay, while if you are not, you don't.

No you do. Your premiums are higher than they otherwise would be to offset the cost of people that the insurance company is losing money on.

Bernie's plan would just shift your expenses away from premiums into a tax.

If he gets his plan through his job, then he's probably right. He's paying into a smaller pool that's less likely to have really sick people, so his premiums would be lower than they would be paying into a general population pool.

If we'd do universal health care, we'd need to incentivize the people in charge to stay within their budget. Tie part of their pay to the performance so good results are rewarded and bad ones are punished.

We'd also need to look into lowering the actual cost of healthcareFLUFFYGERM posted...


We definitely need more data, more transparency in pricing and provider ratings, and more competition. More innovation and automation. More healthy choices being made by people before we become obese alcoholic fat lazy fucks. Etc.

Stuff like that could be good.

FLUFFYGERM posted...

Morbidly obese fucks and smokers represent something like 30% of our yearly healthcare expenditures. Obesity itself is like 22% last I checked.

If this is an issue, coming up with a way to get those people to pay more would be a potentially good idea. With current insurances, such things happen. Smoking would be relatively simple, could have a nationwide tax on tobacco products that goes towards funding healthcare. Obesity would be harder to come up with a solution.

It's pretty easy to get suspended if you are a deep thinker or try to see things from certain angles. Even when you aren't advocating a behavior or celebrating it, you get suspended just for trying to understand the behavior or ask questions about it.
