Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

My sister is a physician
so, I can attest that this is true. The French have special services of docs making house calls at every hour of the night, 7 days a week... and everybody thinks we're a bunch of lazy bums!
Go Global!
thanks for the confirmation.
i'd heard/read this in various places, but haven't been to france to find out for myself.
35-hour workweek? 5 weeks vacation? i want to be a lazy bum too! where do i sign up?
great catch!
thanks
This is a bit old now
but this report lists the details of France's family policies... what are the chances of similar programs implemented here: 0...
I guess it's just easier and politically more rewarding to scold black deadbeat dads or deplore the demise of the so-called traditional family (which it never was) on feminists and abortion than actually do something for families, all families.
Go Global!
what are the chances indeed?
yep. much easier to scold trashy women and lazy black dudes. certainly seems to be politically more rewarding.
thanks for that link [though my eyeballs are going to hate you].

Sorry about that! :-)

used to in the US
The doctors USED to make home visits in the US in the last what? 20-30 years?
not since I was a small child
house calls went out in the 50's
My brother is a family
My brother is a family practic doctor in California. He makes the occasional house call, usually to someone old and ill. But overall, you are right about the rarity of this practice. Patients nearly keel over from surprise when he shows up on their doorsteps.
1960s
that's the last time i can remember a doctor routinely making house calls.
