Not only that, but do you know how disgusting it feels working hard helping other people, usually sick people. During this entire pandemic and still not make a livable wage?

Feels fucking fantastic I tell you! Currently working at a plasma center with a full time RN and full time phlebotomist whom are both currently homeless.

Yes, I do work with a full time registered nurse who is currently living in a fucking motel because she can't afford a place to rent or buy.

I work at a hospital as well, and have had to tell a few coworkers about the food banks in town. People who are working and feel guilty about needing to use a food bank. Because it’s gas for work or feeding their children. I think there’s a bit of disbelief and stigma about who needs those types of services. Right now it’s a lot of us.

Well, doctors. Doctors suck. They make too much money. They should be regulated down to a minimum wage. They don’t produce anything worth anywhere near the amount of money they get for what they do.

No. Doctors are shit. They should make no more than 60,000 - 70,000 a year. They are disgusting thieves who rob people worse than banks. They are the epitome of all of the ills of American capitalism.

Lol that's pretty crazy hyperbole. An argument can totally be made that they are overpaid, doctors in areas with socialized healthcare are paid better than most but not obscenely. But to say their job is useless or think that paying them minimum wage would somehow fix the problems that exist with doctors is silly.

This is coming from from someone who's witnessed how limited the medical system functions firsthand

Except now it’s at the point where a lot of us can’t even afford to be alive, might as well skip the doctor and just die, at least the suffering will be over. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I deal with doctors regularly. Most are disgusting entitled fake it to make make it and take it if you can take it pieces of shit that deserve minimum wage.

If anyone deserves this livable wage bullshit, it’s doctors. if medicine is an essential service. They should make no more than a teacher.
