My partner would 100% be happier working in a factory than in fast food. Right now he’s in the hospital kitchen which is the next best thing.
I think America would be better if nursing assistant was a job people could just do for the rest of their career instead of calling it a “student job” so they can justify paying peanuts. Hell they’re doing that with nurses now too, everybody’s going to NP or CRNA school; then who the hell is gonna flip granny? You gotta flip that bird 6 times a shift like a lil pancake just so she doesn’t wear a hole in her saggy lil tush! Depressed wages are pushing everybody outta direct care so they can eat, and then there’s nobody left to actually provide direct care! And telework jobs like case management and utilization review which wouldn’t even exist if insurance companies no longer existed, which would be a deep heresy against capitalism. Granny can probably still call the doctor and a cab for herself but who the hell gonna load her actual body into the car? Even when medicaid covers the bill uber ain’t gonna let their drivers take liability for anything more than putting her bag in the back seat for her.
