I wonder how many lawyers have a true grasp on law in general. It’s like today’s healthcare workers. Twenty years ago I’d go to a doctor and I’d learn something from that doctor. That doesn’t happen now. Too many providers did the bulk of their education online and it shows.
A few years ago I was forced to defend myself in court because I couldn't afford a lawyer and didn't trust any public defender, so I chose to exercise my rights and go pro se.
I took the "How To Win In Court" course online and was blown away how much I learned about the legal profession. Most people lose cases simply because they comply with whatever the court and their lawyer says and don't actually read the law as it's being applied.
The whole profession is a racket. They lead you to believe that you NEED a lawyer. On top of that, you literally have to know Latin to understand the laws as written. All of this is designed to make us feel woefully inept at defending ourselves. The government provides an attorney as a public defender. Again, leading us to believe an attorney is required. Don’t get me wrong, a good one knows his Latin, lol! You do need a good one, one with knowledge and courage, to defend you if you aren’t prepared to do so yourself. I feel this way more so now that I’ve seen how the government really operates.
TBH it's the way they teach them. There's almost no actual applied learning going on in college with regards to the medical stuff. The way the classes are structured is like your entire grade is based on maybe 3 to 6 tests throughout the semester. When you study like that just for the next test that's coming up, you tend to forget like 60 to 70% of the stuff that you studied like two days after the test is over. Most of their learning is done on the fucking job and they're starting out usually with close to a million dollars worth of student loan debt, which essentially makes them slaves of the system because if they don't make the exorbitant payments on it they lose their license and they still have to keep the fucking debt because they can't discharge it with bankruptcy. So that $500,000 a year ends up being a lot less actual take-home money when you account for like the 40% or some ridiculous amount that the government takes on top of the student loan payments. I haven't done the actual math on it so I can't give you 100% accurate figures but they have to pay a lot after all of that schooling, and after inflation a lot of doctors can end up being in roughly the same boat as you or I with regards to their economic status.

I read your first sentence and started to jump in about doctors, but you covered that too!

All of this crap is by design. Soon, though, the veil will be lifted. I can’t wait!
