I pretty much stopped remembering my dreams after some serious surgery when I was younger. I put it down to the 12+ hours of anesthetic. I occasionally remember that I had dreamt when I wake up in a weird mood. But no idea what the dream was about.

Keeping people in unproductive jobs isn't an excuse to keep a drain on the the system and bloating costs of health care.

What do they do in other countries that don't have those roles? They find jobs elsewhere or train in something else. Of course you wouldn't be able to reform healthcare overnight, it would take a decade or a generation.

Think about all the people involved in health care that aren't involved in actually providing healthcare. Billing, debt collection, assessing insurance claims, denying claims, legal fighting over denied claims, advertising etc.

All that money is better spent providing healthcare.

There are also stable companies with a solid revenue stream that don't have much growth potential, so pay out the profits as dividends. These are more in demand for retirement funds or individuals who get to point in life they need to start living from their investments. Yield is always a calculation of dividend + growth.

Tech companies that don't pay a dividend and reinvest everything into growth is a relatively new concept

It gets stored elsewhere if you continue to consume more than you use, like the fat cells deeper in your abdomen where it's much more dangerous to the health of your organs

But it's the opposite in NZ and Aus, we pay more when converted back to USD while the spending power is much less.
