ded posted:https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/california-protective-equipment-shortage-pushes-nurses-consider-drastic-action-n1168976 I saw some of those stories about the nurses working for Kaiser. It's interesting how different areas are handling this. My area led off with, "send us your stuff, we are going to need everything we can get our hands on." Queue all the neighborhoods setting up sweatshops to make masks and 3d printers making face shield holders. Other areas seem to be firmly in the camp of, "gently caress you, all of you can die"

If I was a medical worker, and I was not being provided the proper PPE for work, I wouldn't show up. Can't help more people if you're out sick or dead.

Tbh this is how I interpreted what you said. Like, people shouldn't have to operate in those conditions. Of course the reality is that most of those people will always put themselves at risk to help others. But I didn't take that as you suggesting otherwise. It feels like people's general stress & anxiety is bleeding through into the thread and everyone is way more ~outraged~ than usual.

I am outraged at capital and politics, and it keeps surprising me at how much more I can muster on top of what has already been building On one hand I can't see how healthcare workers and EMTs are going to get paid what they are owed without a strike, and on the other I can understand why the people who work in healthcare are not the sort of people to put themselves over the people they help which means a strike really can't happen.

I'd gravitate towards this stance personally. In commercial diving it is ultimately up to the diver (not the boss) to make the call on sketchy conditions or unsafe developments. Why no, I do not want to put anyone in the water during a 50-yr flood event with a dynamic mooring set-up. I'm sorry you told the client we could do it, but that was bullshit. E: I get some of the reasons why healthcare is different... It's an awful position to be put in as a frontline worker

Based on some interviews I've been hearing from people that work in ERs it sounds like if that was your standard then you wouldn't be a medical worker in the US.

caregivers are always threatened with the fate of their charges and accused of selfishness when they resist exploitation. supporting them isn't about posting the right thing, or insulting someone who isn't posting the right thing. as far as strikes, anyone in food distribution is probably in a better position right now.

Milo and POTUS posted:The Postal service is going byebye Not happening. The CARES act (the $2t/$6t bill) authorized the Postal Service to get a loan of $10B from the National Reserve to keep on operating. That will make the USPS operational until Congress comes back and fixes it long-term. The postal service is a heavy, heavy need for rural communities, as the private shippers don't make much money there (I think). Conservatives yell a lot about the USPS not having a good business model, but they won't let the USPS outright shut down. Nobody else would take up those rural routes.

We have no idea where, exactly the ventilators will do the most good, so it makes sense to hold back some *for now*. Cuomo has a few thousand in reserve, the problem is that he (and us) need a few hundred thousand in reserve. Remember, Trump is barely doing ANYTHING in this whole thing. He's watching Fox News, talking to randos on the phone, and demanding random praise from Governors (while Pence actually does the stuff). He's trying to *look* busy.

He's also furiously delegating everything to everyone else and dancing like a ballerina around having to make any actual decisions so he always has a few good scapegoats around for everything that goes wrong. Ego preservation is one of the single most important things to him as a malignant narcissist, if other people don't further that goal they either don't exist or are enemies that must have every single thing used to attack them full force at all times and drat the consequences.

There is no way a business would serve a community like that without jacking prices up so high no one could afford to ship anything to that location.

It infuriates me when conservatives criticise a government agency providing a public service for "not having a good business model" and "operating at a loss". It SHOULD be operating at a loss! It shouldn't NEED to generate a profit, it shouldn't NEED a good business model, because it's not a business!

Moscow Mitch, realizing trying to defend the GOP administration's Covid-19 response is a losing battle, now decides to blame the Dem impeachment for the slow response. So while totally distracted by impeachment, to the point that he couldn't do his job at all, Trump held rallies on: 1/9 1/14 1/28 1/30 He golfed on: 1/18 1/19 2/1 After his acquittal, he held more rallies on: 2/10 2/19 2/20 2/21 2/28 and golfed on: 2/15 3/7 3/8 (the date of the "I'm not worried about it" comment) It goes without saying that every single rally was a public health hazard that likely infected hundreds of people. As an aside, it was in February that Burr/Inhofe/Loeffler/Feinstein sold their stocks after a Covid-19 briefing.
