mike777 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Speaking of fighting poverty. My local eye doctor has been arrested for writing drug scripts. This guy and his fellow eye doctor brother in my local town just arrested. Somehow I was not surprised or in shock. I think last year I got a horrible bad flu from his staff. This is the guy who keeps telling me I need eye surgery the last few years and I put it off. He may be right about my needing eye surgery but his whole operation seemed off. To be fair over decades and decades going to the eye doctor seemed off tilt. I really have never been happy with any one of them over the years. I went to him because the other eye doc I went too seemed worse, and his office was very near. As I get older I guess location starts to trump.

kenberg Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I see your point. If we are to solve the problem of poverty we must first see the problem clearly. Crooked and badly trained ophthalmologists are the root cause of all our troubles. Who wudda thunk it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just returned from a 15-day trip to southern Italy. My eyes seemed to work fine during the trip but now I wonder - should I have allowed that entrepreneurial street vendor in Napoli to do laser surgery for the 15 euros? Who loses the most if he fails?

You have to bargain. Probably he would have done it for 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilowsky Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Bridge as an inverse index of global poverty.I just downloaded this from ourworldindata.My linkSince the introduction of Bridge, countries, where it is popular, all show dramatic decreases in poverty.Countries were selected based on BBO's data about where their advertising comes from, and my own guesses.
