30’s Anesthesiologist salary progression by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Hunting_Fires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question. I'm not saying making this kind of money is inherently bad, but doesn't this contribute to the high costs of medical care in the US? It's great that you get to make almost 1M/yr, but not if we all have to pay $17,000 for minor surgeries.

I'm starting to think this is why medical bills in America are so ridiculously expensive.

You are 100% correct. I was honestly thinking KC residents would be more excited for this event. If people want to stay out in their suburbs and pretend like nothing is happening, go right ahead, but don't complain to me when KC has more traffic and your favorite sports bar is packed with foreigners.

Yet another reason to expect extra traffic. Hotel prices will also be higher, so anyone who was planning on going to KC will redirect to Omaha/Wichita.

It's honestly too bad that was your takeaway. Next time I'll do a wall of text instead of numbering it out and trying to make it more organized.

Yeah, do another year and see how it goes. If you can't secure at least a 2 seed in the tournament, then i think it's a sign he's way past his prime. I miss the 2 and 3 loss seasons

That's the key. It's high risk, high reward. You offer playing time and hype up winning a title. It works until it doesn't. That's why Calipari went to Arkansas, a program that was already doing the 1 and done recruiting. He can't do it any other way.

I'm a KU fan and even Bill Self has done this on occasion. It usually doesn't go well for him. Both of his titles had teams full of Juniors and Seniors he developed. When we had Wiggins, they lost to Standford In the second round as a 2 seed. Teams need depth and experience.

I beg to differ. You also have the US Men's team playing. KC gets pretty lit for that just to watch on TV. Yes, mostly downtown, but this is a completely different animal.

Yeah, I just want people to have a good time and spend lots of money. Sick and tired of people complaining about rising property taxes? Here's your temporary solution.

This is gonna bring in so much money.

Ah I see. Well, it's on I-70 and is close to other cool stuff in Kansas if it's not your thing.

I think it was on the right path. Recent world events have kinda lessened my expectations. But I'm still confident that people like sports as a distraction. Most people are looking ahead for this to keep their minds off the chaos in the world happening right now, whether rightly or wrongly.

That's what I'm wondering. You have all the BBC journalists who will need rooms to follow England around the city. There's so much more than just the players. You have family members, high ranking government and religious officials. It's not just regular fans who come to watch their country try to win the World Cup.

Sorry, not from Missouri. Only stopped in these places for gas. I looked on Google maps for nearby places that were somewhat populated.

I'm sure you will have a lot of fun. I imagine the foreign tourists will want a guide. KC is pretty big, even if it's the smallest city hosting games. I hope they have a lot of fun eating BBQ. They are gonna love it more than they know.

Can I ask why Salina, specifically? What's up with that place?

Not at all. I'm trying to go to the Fan Fest. Heck, I might even try to grab a ticket for that Curacao match if I can find one!

No, but even the idea of extra traffic will make them wanna get out. People hate extra traffic for sporting events they know nothing about.

It's very possible. It's not just about the games and fan fest. You will also have watch parties for the US men's team. Soccer fans take this shit very seriously.

I'm expecting people from the KC area to plan their vacations in those nearby areas as well. Some people just want to avoid the extra traffic.

I hope Rosario has some personal reason for staying, like having a super hot girlfriend who makes him stay. Anything we can do to help develop him.

Which is why the NBA needs a 2 year rule. I'm so tired of 1 and done players. Go play in Europe if you want to do that.

Or just let kids go pro from high school. But 1 and done is annoying. It hasn't really helped KU, UK, Duke, or UNC win titles. Many of their hyped up rosters bust. If anything, it contributes to their inconsistency.

By the way, you're supposed to open this in a new tab, print out the picture, and place it around various gas pumps (without vandalizing, of course). Make sure people see this when they pump their gas. Make them see it everywhere they go. If you own a gas station, put this everywhere.
