Again: why bother with the video exam if they’re not actually doing anything? Change the rules to allow for more refills, call it a day. Or allow pharmacists (aka “chemists”) to prescribe, as is the case in much of the rest of the world.
I’m actually trying to GTFO anything related to technology. I don’t see technology as changing the world for the better. All I see is fewer jobs, more “connectedness” (read: longer hours) for the jobs that do exist, less privacy, easier distribution of false news, etc. I don’t see the benefits as outweighing the negatives.
The technology that we DO need to adopt for the sake of the environment like nuclear power, renewable energy, electric cars, electric trains is primarily an engineering problem with no political will behind it in the US.
Frankly, I hope to move to a country with a more stagnant, slower pace of life to raise a family in the next few years. Looking at places like Costa Rica, Portugal, Czech Republic, etc. I don’t care for modernity and innovation, if I ever did.
