This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The Republican candidate didn’t have a medical degree? I’d have thought that was a requirement for coroner.
An unqualified Republican candidate? What are the odds!
You do t have to be "qualified", not being qualified can be a good thing. For example a medical review board, it's good to have normal people because they are a check and balance and don't let bad doctors off easily where doctors are bias and will.
The answer to bad scientists are good scientists. The answer to bad scientists is never a drywaller named jeff. Im gonna assume youd prefer your triple bypass is done by a heart surgeon and not a charismatic accountant who is keeping surgeons accountable. Stop drinking the koolaid and grow up.
Jeff will not be happy to hear this.
Jeff can console himself by realizing that he doesn't have to pay back the student loans the scientists are paying.
No but he did have to deal with the grief of breaking into a trade profession that's so old boys club dominated we might as well start calling them guilds again.
Jeff's REALLY not going to want to hear that.
He's doing drywall to pay for his Master's in Economics.
Yeah, let's get more unqualified people in power over women's medical decisions! Or unqualified raciats into cororner positions so they can blame minorities for being murdered by the police!
Checks and balances!
lol, what?
“Normal” person: I think vaccines are bad! We should punish medical professionals for making at-risk people have them!
“Normal” person: I think we should force this woman to give birth to a fetus with no heartbeat. Because abortions and abortifacients bad.
“Normal” person: Yes, dewormer is an effective treatment for covid. We should punish doctors for refusing to administer it.
Last damn thing we need is normal people telling experts the validity of their expertise.
That's literally why Americans have the worst Healthcare. We let non-scientists make scientific decisions. Just stop.
Coroner is mostly a legal and administrative position I think, medical examiners are the ones who actually oversee autopsies.
Nope. Anyone can be a coroner in many jurisdictions. Medical examiners need to be doctors.
What the actual fuck?????
In my country you have to have been a barrister for at least 5 years and in practice it's longer.
I can't get my head around this system of having laypersons voting randoms into a position that requires a high level of skill.
Coroner doesn't really require much skill. It's basically an administrative position. The medical examiner is the one who needs medical experience.
(It still shouldn't be an elected position though.)
Idk, I've had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can't imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.
It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
He was probably just enthusiastic about working with people who couldn't rebuff his sexual advances
