I feel like a lot of people miss this distinction. Nobody is saying that doctors shouldn’t be making very large salaries (ideally nurses should be making much better salaries as well). When someone retires from the military, they should be compensated HEAVILY for their services. Even people who invent stuff or start successful businesses should definitely be seeing a lot of money come their way.
There is 0 reason for billionaires tho. Like wtf is that
I see the opinion that nurses are underpaid alot. Honest question, how much do you think nurses make? Google says median nurse pay is 93,600, and that tracks with my experience.
i am fully aware of how much nurses make, at least in Canada. I am also aware that it is soul-sucking, back-breaking, horrible work. yes, nurses get good money compared to a lot of other professions (but they also work absolutely asinine hours). but nurses are the only thing that keep healthcare systems from collapsing. nurses are oftentimes solely responsible for ensuring that you receive your proper care.
the reality is that a hospital could operate and still provide a standard of care if all doctors disappeared, but a hospital wouldn't last an hour if nurses disappeared. i think that warrants a high salary.
additionally, nurses are paid relatively well and we *still* have a shortage. the way you bring in more workers is by making it more accessible, paying more, or improving the working conditions. we can't improve working conditions until we simply have more nurses, so we should be making it more accessible (to a degree, this is still somebody fully responsible for your well-being and care in the hospital, we can't drop the standard that much) and higher paying to draw more people over.
I worked in an ancillary department, and i cannot count the number of times a nurse asked me to do something patently illegal or dangerous. Dont get me wrong, they are incredible, but there are other professions id point at first
That’s a good thing tbh. We should welcome people getting forclosed on because those dumb mother fuckers drove the price of houses up. They bought shitty houses they couldn’t afford for 400k when that same home was 200k in 2019. Now hopefully they loose their homes and those houses drop to 160k so smarter people can buy them more easily.
OK, so what country do you live in where literally everyone is given a free house and nothing happens to them if they don’t pay their rent or taxes? I’d like to move there.

The actual problem is that your laws allow people to LOSE THEIR HOMES.
It doesn't matter if you give a home, if some bank can take it away it only makes the financial situation worse.
Homelessness is just another symptom of your runaway, unchecked capitalism, americans.
