From what I've heard nursing courses tend to and be cut throat and have a high washout rate. And again hearsay says that the nurses that don't actually care tend to get out of the profession within a couple of years of entering it.

Rutibex posted:it should be declared that eviction/foreclosure is illegal during the crisis It's illegal to not properly declare your income but that didn't stop the people most likely to be evicted, so I don't see how declaring it to be illegal to evict them will actually stop anyone from getting forced out by their slumlord.

Rutibex posted:the police have to evict people. if the police are instructed not to evict people than it wont happen You can expect a sudden rise in emergency evictions because the tenant is "destroying the property", which I guarantee you will not be stopped. Anything at all wrong with the property will be trotted out as evidence of ongoing damage. Trust me, slumlords have no shame and know how to use the system to their advantage.

Klyith posted:A few court systems are going to stop processing evictions entirely, no matter the cause. Which is when you see a rise in private parties enforcing the evictions off the books, and the DA not giving a single gently caress about it. Do not count on the law to protect the poorest and most vulnerable.

Spinz posted:I'm going to ask once again, I must be missing something. Medical knowledge goons, what is it? They've been throwing stuff at the wall in terms of trying to find effective antiviral treatments. Doctors are allowed to use stuff in off-label ways, but that's not good science and if it isn't backed up by research the observed effects could be literal wishful thinking. A lot of effort goes into creating research which is bias free specifically because we humans are biased and fallible. So the practical effect is that doctors will try anything they think might work based on what they know about viral replication and what they've heard from other doctors and research on related coronaviruses, and if they notice anything seeming to work they share their notes in articles which are not peer reviewed but which are published in an emergency measure. Then other doctors can try it, and everyone's got a chance to compare notes; but until the research is done properly in double-blind studies with peer review then it is at best a recommendation and not an indication. That's all using existing, already proven safe, drugs. Making a new drug takes just as long, if not longer, than making a new vaccine.

Hey I'm not the one getting indignant about a job where the management won't treat health risks seriously. You are. If it was worth getting your ire up over now, why wasn't it worth walking when you recognized you had a problem? Why wasn't it worth talking your coworkers into walking too? Your complaining reeks of helplessness but you had agency throughout the entire day.

teen witch posted:Yeah you’re the monster, cashier who has zero agency if management wants to close or not!! gently caress you and gently caress your incredibly precarious situation amplified by an unprecedented global pandemic!!! Not calling him a monster. Just pointing out he could have walked whenever he wanted. People work because they have to, sure, but they can always choose to make hard decisions. He's not helpless, he had nothing tethering him to a job that he'd had enough of besides the promise of pay that will not serve him very well if he spreads covid-19 from one of his loser customers to people he cares about. Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:I literally said I was talking to them constantly about collectively leaving in my post. I consciously made the decision to leave after another coworker did so that it would better impress on the management that they needed to shut down. I gave my coworkers fair warning and also urged my manager to make moves to shut down the store. What more do you want? Or are you just committed to annoying needling. Should I have loving blown the place up while I was at it? I didn't see that. Maybe I just suck at reading comprehension, but if your account about talking to your coworkers and giving your manager your perspective is there I'm sorry I missed it. It changes the entire story if you're talking to them and then leaving after you made your phone call saying you weren't showing up again. I disagree with taking time to help stock, but I get it. You don't want to leave people you actually like in more of a lurch than you need to. John_A_Tallon fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Mar 19, 2020 |

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Not only was I not a cashier but mocking someone's job position like some hauty country club geriatric is some purestrain rear end in a top hat poo poo. You know, now that I'm really thinking about it, I think what bothered me the most was your tone in your story. It'd have been affirming and reassuring to see some sort of confident message about having been sure you did the right thing, that you made a hard choice and you're proud of it. Because you did do the right thing, and you should be proud that you took a stand. It's sort of a foreign thing for many workers to hit their limit and say "I've had enough of this poo poo," precisely because we're in uncertain times. I'm sorry for picking on you; I was working through thinking about it while posting.

Inept posted:why would you write an article about a random maga facebook lady dying On the one hand it is ghoulish and distasteful. On the other hand the deceased's family made the decision to make her death public and pass around the hat for donations. The deceased made the decision to make a very public and very nuanced statement. Neither of these facts make the gawking less ghoulish, but they do drop the threshold for someone to comment; being a public figure or interacting with the public is an invitation to the public to comment on not just your ideas but your lifestyle choices and the ultimate results of those choices, even if the end result is fatal. It's not classy, it's not morally "right", but it is what people do.

My girlfriend had a breakdown two days ago since she doesn't have a job, can't apply, gets no benefits and can't go out to distract herself. She's staying with me for free but it still breaks my heart to see her so stressed. Other people are going out more again and even I as a natural homebody am struggling to stay indoors. Why can't she apply to places?

zer0spunk posted:how are they planning on enforcing that exactly? They will use the threat of counting time spent in the country with an expired visa as being out of compliance so that they will deny future visas whenever they get around to that again. It's the sort of solution Trump would like, and that ICE would push. Also, don't underestimate how petty Homeland Security can be, nor how much manpower they have access to. ICE are the enforcers but Homeland Security is the part of the system doing the detective work. If you assume even modestly efficient detectives (and you accept that we have a public emboldened to report violators because they believe, wrongly or rightly, that it will open up a job for them) then it looks a whole lot more possible than if you're estimating outcomes based on the assumption that ICE agents are doing the work.

Alan Smithee posted:N95 question: I have a 3M painters mask from years ago I never used. The expiration is 2015 but is it still effective at all? That depends entirely on storage conditions. If it was kept in a temperature stable room, in the dark, in a sealed bag, it might be fine. In any case it's going to be helpful for catching the bigger particles, even if it's not up to N95 spec anymore.

coronavirus posted:Good article about the global costs that are mostly undiscussed in the west. Already rampant poverty and starvation is going to be ramped up dramatically. Our crises of having 50,000+++ mostly elderly people die in USA will be a small tragedy compared to the immense suffering that is occurring and will get worse in the developing world. The take-away from these articles isn't that the response is wrong. It is that poor people are vulnerable people and it only takes one disaster of any sort to royally gently caress them over. The novel part of this is that the disaster is happening to so many people at once. The solution isn't to let a novel virus run rampant through the population, the solution is to build robust social safety net systems before you have a crisis that forces people to choose between starving or spreading a disease.

Fenarisk posted:Can't trump force the meat workers back to work just like Reagan did with the airline workers? Honest question I don't know the answer to, especially since a strong union was involved in that incident as well. Not having meat isn't a national emergency. People can live on other food. People refusing to go to work because of health concerns isn't an economic strike that the Taft-Hartley Act can regulate anyway.

The second in the context of the first, in context of the very limited threatening behavior by some (admittedly assumed white) people described in the article, conveys a message about racism being depressingly alive and well. The amount of threatening and confrontational behavior referred to in the article would have gotten people of color arrested in many jurisdictions.

Cacafuego posted:I’m not saying the corporations would act differently. I’m saying that if they release the study data that doesn’t show the whole picture (which is possible) and should the FDA’s response be lacking (which is likely) that the thousands of people involved that (and this is the important part here) don’t work for the pharma companies and don’t get any kind of incentive for the vaccine to be approved will speak up, whether it be to the press, on social media, whatever. Devil's advocate argument here: But they do have incentives. Harassment by a company trying to keep whistle blowers suppressed is a very old story now and happens frequently because the consequences for tampering with whistleblowers are not generally severe enough. Losing access to the entire profession is another consequence that really happens. Managers will find other contractors to use, build elaborate bodies of falsified data, lose reports, use NDAs abusively, and even frame third parties to ensure that what "needs" to happen, happens. A surprising number of people are basically worthless when it comes to doing the right and moral thing. They prefer to just collect their pay, do the minimum at work, and let the consequences be someone else's problem. John_A_Tallon fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Aug 4, 2020 |

You didn't make loans available to people who were not safe prospects. You didn't create the economic poo poo-show we're now in the start of. You didn't do anything. Everyone can see the writing on the wall regarding the housing bubble deflating.

Fluffy Bunnies posted:Can someone explain why this one is problematic to me? Because I mean, if you're literally not profiting off people who want to rent your home, I'm lost as to why that's bad. You're basically taking all the responsibility of home ownership on yourself while they just pay for the basic mortgage. You're still liable for repairs and everything; they aren't. Jeza covered the important part, so I'm going to add that if you don't have multiple income sources or savings that can cover the cost of the mortgage payment for the period of time it takes to recover you are literally one disaster away from your own position being affected by the renter's position. You must at a minimum maintain enough savings to cover the amount of time and expense it would take to evict a renter. Many landlords fail to do this.
