2024 Presidential race
Re: 2024 Presidential race
My wages are definitely up 18% since Covid, part of that was critical staffing incentives, but even without that they are. Housing prices where I’m at went up way more than 18% though, more like 50% and that’s the big purchase I need to make right now.

It happened. The passengers are safe.specialsauce wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:09 amThen you better accept President Trump 2024, because it’s happening. Sigh. Don’t want to hear any shock, disgust, threats to move to a different country. Because you were part of the problem, not the solution. You had an airplane destined to crash and you were content to let it fail instead of course correcting to save the passengers.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 8:30 amRight; it's super rare for an incumbent to step aside. The race is basically Biden vs Trump. I think it's fine to just accept that and decide accordingly whom to vote for. And when one candidate's flaw is that he literally says he will be a dictator, and the other one's flaw is that he is old, the decision is pretty easy to me.

Re: 2024 Presidential race
I've taken a 15% pay cut since Covid and I'm facing another round of cuts. Because the government aka Medicare has zero respect for physicians and all the power is in the hands of insurance companies who charge an arm and a leg for premiums then line their own pockets
Re: 2024 Presidential race
I'm not a Bernie socialist on every issue, but I'm more than ready for the US to have a universal health care system. There doesn't seem to be much benefit to our current system where we just funnel all the money to these fat insurance companies while lots of people still have poor or no health care.

That sucks…I should be grateful it hasn’t impacted my job the same way…I can 2nd insurance companies being awful though.specialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 9:01 pmI've taken a 15% pay cut since Covid and I'm facing another round of cuts.

Re: 2024 Presidential race
Third that on insurance companies blowing.... I can't tell you how infuriating it is when you're unable to get the treatment you need because insurance won't cover it. I've dealt with this personally with my own debilitating pain and was even more frustrated when I saw how it affected my moms pancreatic cancer treatment. Until you're in a situation where you're health and treatment is dependent on how much money you have, it's hard to relate.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 8:02 amThat sucks…I should be grateful it hasn’t impacted my job the same way…I can 2nd insurance companies being awful though.specialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 9:01 pmI've taken a 15% pay cut since Covid and I'm facing another round of cuts.

Yep, I’ve been lucky not to have health problems.. but as a nurse I see how it impacts patients every day.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
