If we want people to stay in healthcare and provide high quality care, we have to make their careers sustainable physically, mentally, and financially.
To all healthcare workers out there being overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated, THANK YOU for doing what you do. The world needs you.

I suppose the Republican solution would be to reduce Billy's pay and stop people from tipping Tina  :hmm:

Nothing too new there.
"look after our own!"
"OK. Let's invest in helping people in poverty."
"No!"
Zero interest in actually helping careers and other underpaid people. They just can't stand that some poor people with jobs they deem to be bad  are fighting for higher wages.

When did the person working in the old age home become "our own" to Republicans?  :lol:

They're moaning about mean tweets a lot lately. Strange. Did something happen on that front?

(needless to say weird they believe these other things are new problems)

Man, oppressions has really gotten a bad rap.  My country is descending into a totalitarian dictatorship and I haven't really noticed any changes at all.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I love that they genuinely believe illegal immigrants are on benefits.
Yet stealing all the jobs.
The meaning of the word illegal is really lost on them.

Well these guys are the most persecuted, stolen from, downtrodden victims in history. They can't be expected to be completely accurate in their hyperbole re: job stealling welfare queen illegals can they? Too busy being crushed by oppression.
PDH!

The best part of the entire thing is just how fucking pathetic the sense of burden they think they are taking on.

Oh yeah dude, you are totally the breadwinner for all the poor and immigrants. You are the one keeping it all going, with your hard work and taxes.
