Or, you know, some people like their fucking jobs. Not everything needs to be some min-max'ed income thing - sometimes people do what they love, as utterly mind-blowing and completely incomprehensible as that apparently is to the folks

Similarly, I think anything we can do to help take the burden off the mundane parts of the job has helped clinicians focus on the actual hard parts. Where we get... bristling, is when there's any suggestion of "legislating" (

Given the utter paucity of wolf attacks on humans (vastly, incomprehensibly lower than the rates of Lyme disease), this is a deeply silly thing to worry about. It’s really clear, sometimes, who hasn’t seen a place that isn’t paved.
