Most people Do Not need MS OSes any longer. There is no "value add" to them at this point for Home/Small Office. The Lone exception is perhaps Excel needs. Everything else can be substituted with other platforms and software options.
There are use cases for specific software products, but with containers taking off, those will become less platform specific.
The Nursing Program at our local University requires BS degree just to get in. It's two years after that.
Residency is after 4 years of Med School, after completing Doctorate. It is technically supervised practice of Medicine, not education.
And if you wanted, you could tack on specialization studies for those that require even MORE.
Yeah, six years vs eight years
In my fantasy land, we'd have a variety of medical professionals with levels of expertise that all can be called "Doctor". My best example is the modern RN, whose knowledge and skill exceed that which were called Doctors 70 years ago. Literally better suited to be Doctoring than those of yesteryear.
In 90% of my health care needs, I'd rather have a RN than a Doctor. But the laws and regulations say I can't because they are not "doctors". (Nurse Practitioners are exception to SOME of those rules).
My point is we need regulation and yet that regulation gets in the way of advancement. We need to constantly revisit those rules to see where improvement can be made.
It's not socialism, because it wasn't compelled. The transaction was 100% free will gift and not demanded by anyone and no vote was ever taken, short of the Lady Dr herself.
THIS is free enterprise (not capitalism) and thus is okay. The benefits of Free Enterprise is that people can do what they want with their money, free from dictates from others. Socialism demands compliance and fails when people can opt out. It eventually fails anyway, because people can't opt out.

Telco's can and ought to clean up their CallerID lists. Those Telcos that are suspect get marked as SPAM.
The Legit Telcos won't let their customers spoof CID that isn't theirs. Those that do should be labeled as SPAM or at least "Unverified" or CID Blocked or whatever, I don't care. The Robodialers from India et al get automatic label, as the calls come in. Legit Telcos can label the spammy VOIP providers as exactly that.
The problems are fixable if the TELCOs wanted to really fix the problem. It's just too much effort without any rewards.
Because Robocalls are still a thing even AFTER all the laws passed to stop such a thing from happening.
No doubt that Politicians will exempt themselves from this law as well.
This isn't a SCOTUS problem, it is a problem that TELCOs could have solved decades ago, and haven't. This is a problem the Congress Critters could have solved decades ago. This is a problem the Voters could have solved decades ago. It just isn't a hill that many are willing to die upon. Yes, it is annoying, but so are every other law that starts with "There ought to be a law

I can think of a number of possible options, especially for vulnerable people. Biggest one would be an option for notification of family and an automatic one day delay for certain transactions. Legit transactions can withstand non-immediacy scenarios.
Troll Mod is "I disagree, a lot"
And as an aside, I happen to agree with the general premise that if it is the person's own fault, the banks shouldn't be responsible. But when Identifies are stolen, which is why DATA breaches are so problematic, Banks OIUGHT to be responsible for THEIR mistakes.
As for your use case scenario, I would hope the bank would recognize the old lady pulling all funds out to hand to young dude, and pull them aside for a few minutes to ask a few more questions. I would hope, but I also know that is largely not happening.
That's the "response". What allowed it to exist in the first place. Don't those things need government permits or something?
Oh wait, those are only require for LEGITIMATE businesses. Illegal Chinese Bio Labs need not apply, just don't get caught or they'll shut you down (to respawn elsewhere)
Banks are responsible for fraud. Instead of putting the responsibility of fraud on the innocent consumers, banks need to do their Due Diligence when conducting NORMAL business with consumers.
Innocent Consumers aren't the real target of fraudsters, the real target are the Financial Institutions that accept fraudulent documentation, almost entirely unknown to the real victims.
Why aren't elections fully auditable?
Why do voter roles contain addresses (of voters) that do not exist or have no dwellings?
Why do we have signature matching system in place that doesn't bother to match signatures?
What source would you find "acceptable" because that itself may tell us something.

The problem is reliable sources aren't always reliable, and under no circumstances should the AP put it's own opinions in a news headline.

Does it help that I don't want to live here, but wife won't move as her family is here.
