And speaking of “made up stats” you should stop using them yourself as your Australia analogy is horseshit.

Well, if your premise is correct every fast food restaurant would be paying their no-skill employees top dollar, right? None would pay minimum wage because such a practice would harm the bottom line, right? We wouldn’t need legislation to make them pay more because it would be in their economic best interests to just…

Some slaves were, in fact, children.

In the 1840s you didn’t need signed consent forms and you didn’t have HIPAA and you didn’t keep a full chart for everyone, etc.

Anesthesia has a specific medical meaning and if you don’t know what it means, don’t use it.

Yes, it would. The situation would be analogous to a child that’s not able to give consent because of age but the parent provides it.

Yes, management chooses to increase profits to benefit the shareholders because they have what’s called a “fiduciary duty” that requires them to do so.

Here’s a link to more than 50 from all around the world.

Awww, the fast food worker is upset that no one takes his plight seriously. Maybe if you were intelligent enough to know you can tip whomever you want in a fast food restaurant, you wouldn’t need to be taught that. Get your GED. Gotta develop those job skills somewhere, son.

It doesn’t mention it because it didn’t happen. He gave them free room and board. If you’d read the link I sent you instead of going instantly into “we blacks are all such horrible victims and we always have been and we always will be!” mode, you’d know that.

If you had obtained your GED, or been capable of reading the article, you’d know that “anesthesia” wasn’t around at the time. Read a history book.

So you’d suggest that a slave with an incredibly painful condition simply be left untreated because (a) it’s impossible for them to give consent and/or (b) any time a physician treated a slave they’d be engaging in “butchery and torture”?

If you would have read the article, instead of ignoring it and writing what you want, you’d know that his patients not only consented to undergo the procedure, but gave what would be considered informed consent today because he fully explained the procedure to them.

You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. There are tons of clinical trials where patients are treated well in excess of 30 times. When chemotherapy was in clinical trials, how many times do you think patients received radiation?

You didn’t read the JME article. Sims got consent from everyone he operated upon. How? He asked them. They agreed. That’s consent and, even by today’s standards, would be acceptable informed consent.

No, gross revenue = price x units sold.

We’re arguing about Economics. You’re the only one interested in proving that 10 + .1 = 11 and working out a proof to that effect on your phone.

Yes. Los Alamos alone probably has over a dozen monuments to those that worked on the MP.

Because it is price. If you’re not selling anything, you can’t generate revenue. The amount of revenue you generate is based on price of goods sold.

Sorry to dampen your outrage over monuments of people you’d never heard about before, but you really should learn the truth about Sims.
