Most people are killing their selves with third jobs to share apartments.

    It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.

      I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade

      Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

        “I delivered a cost reduction of 21 cents per man hour to the shareholders, so my bonus is going up this year” type of thing?
