I used to work for Kroger in the early 80's. They were union and the pay was good. Raises were based on hours worked not merit. I was shocked. The workday was 8 hours and if you worked over 8 hours you were paid time and a half. You received time and a half for Sunday's. You received 8 holidays at 3 times the pay if you worked and double pay if you were off. Then they decided to cut our pay If cried because my pay was cut by over $3 per hour. I eventually quit. Corporate greed ....

@hard life, I was just a kid when Kennedy was in office. He made a lifelong impression on me. He was a true hero in the service, and a remarkably strong, fair president. I was devastated when he was shot. There is an expression that goes "I worked with Jack Kennedy, and Sir, you are NO Jack Kennedy". A worthy comparison of all who followed.

So...the ICU nurse quits his job because of what reasons??? Every single thing they stated,is bound to happen and they are going to experience in that field at least,oh I dunno every week. Covid or not.

[@Jujubean9795]

Hospitals are being significantly reimbursed for taking care of COVID patients regardless of insurance status/ and ability to pay. Nurses and doctors are expected to work longer shifts without normal breaks or even additional breaks WITHOUT additional compensation. Why would they not quit these jobs? They are human, have families, get burned out, and have significant financial obligations like everyone else. The healthcare demands during a during a pandemic pose unique challenges and employed healthcare workers are being exploited by malignant and greedy employers ie. hospitals.

[@Jujubean9795]

If the American government wants to support its healthcare infrastructure it needs to support the actual nurses and doctors doing the work.

Economies also boom under Dems and wane under Republicans. The Obama-led economy was in its 91st month of expansion when Trump inherited it and then took credit for it. Our economy is actually booming now, by all accounts. Inflation is happening around the entire world, not just here. Europe is fighting record inflation. Biden's fault? Hardly. The economists are clear: inflation is happening because of Covid-borne supply chain issues.

@Robert Taylor You are confused. The Democrats have not been in power for the last 40 years so if anything is going wrong in this country it is on the Republican doorstep. You don't really believe all this bad stuff evolved in the last 12 months, do you? The Republican agenda is an easy one, block everything that provides for the people and put a great big socialist label on it. The Democrats may have whacky ideas but at least they are trying to provide for the people and not just corporations.

[@Zyworski]

@Robert Taylor The courts are dominated by rightwing appointees and we all know that it takes 60 votes to move legislation so the legislative branch has become a graveyard for bills thanks to Republican obstruction. The only branch of government that the Democrats fully control is the executive thanks to Donald Trump being the loser that he is.

Seems Charlotte did not watch the Chris Wallace moderated debate. If she did, it cannot be denied that Trump acted in his usual bulling manner, talking over Wallace and Biden constantly to hog all the air time to himself. Wallace did his best to be be respectful while trying to maintain control. The big upset occurred when Trump was asked if he supported white supremacists. He hemmed and hawed and challenged Wallace to name a supremacist group. Biden, who reads his security reports, offered the name Proud Boys. That's when Trump made the famous statement "Stand back and stand by", basically admitting his support of this group. If the debate was not televised, the public would not have seen the exchange and exposed Trump's real position as a racist. As Sargent Friday says "Just the facts, ma'm"!

They retain their audience by calling all other media outlets "fake" and by bashing people on the left and misrepresenting the actual news in order to forward a Republican agenda. Propaganda networks don't win journalism awards. Chuck Todd at NBC has won more EMMYs for his reporting THAN ALL OF FOX NEWS PERSONALITIES COMBINED. Let that sink in, my friend.
