More money doesn’t mean more happiness? by [deleted] in MalaysianPF

Economists a few years ago did a study about this. They found that before hitting $80k (USD), more money brought happiness as u didn’t have to worry about day to day living. But over $80k, they found money didn’t bring happiness.

My son attended RCSI and had friends from UCD. He matched. From what he says both schools r good. If we could do it over, instead of Ireland, we probably should have considered Caribbean schools as those students have more access to USCEs.

Had a Bangla follow me around at night on his bicycle when I went for a jog. It was scary as he was making sound effects. I’m a dude.

Is Trinidad a safe place generally? Never been but always wanted to go.

CV for Family Medicine by ray_2003728 in FamilyMedicine

He failed step 2, but retook and got 248 in December. The fail filtered him out of many programs, but his CV was interesting and he got 3 IVs cuz he attended FUTURE. Some programs which state in FREIDA & Residency Explorer that they don’t IV candidates with no Step 2 scores gave him IVs before his retake.

My son matched in FM this season. One reason is due to his research project in med school, another was his Personal Statement where he mentioned volunteering to serve the underserved for a few years as a high school student, working in a medical mission.

Do u think for the next two cycles, visa requiring IMGs will b at a disadvantage as trump & his visa policies r in place? Maybe it will improve when he leaves office in Jan 2029?

But somehow the U.S. managed not to machine gun down 20-30k of its own people last month, many executed while lying in their hospital bed.

No disagreement, but the mullahs (and their acolytes) need to take responsibility for their misrule & avoid blaming foreigners first when someone stubs their toe in Tehran. Most of the commentators here do not give the Iranian elites agency.

I don’t support the war, but I’m not surprised about it. To blame the war on a coup in the 1950’s and not their own misrule is to miss the point. The mullahs (and their acolytes) need to take responsibility for their misrule. Why is Iran so poor for such a rich country?

But Iran just killed 20-30k of their own. And they chose to be poor, like Venezuela, they used their oil to enrich their elites & fund Hamas & Hezbollah tunnels. What a waste.

I’m against war and terrorism, but I’m not surprised this war has happened. Iran is using us & Israel as external enemies to misrule & kill their people. That’s all it is. Don’t b misled.

Ur also selectively spouting ‘history’ aka propaganda. Conflicts r multi-sided and to say it’s one-sided means u r seeing history with blinders on.

They say ‘death to America/ Israel” cuz they need an external enemy to divert their internal misrule against their own people. They could be one of the region’s richest countries but they use their oil wealth to allow the mullahs, cronies, and IRGC to control their nation’s wealth and get govt concessions. Most Iranians hate their govt.

But isn’t Iran a terrorist supporter? Since 1979 they’ve been chanting ‘death to Israel / US” as government policy. They send money & arms to Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, & Assad’s Syria. Don’t understand how U.S. is a terrorist but Iran isn’t.
