You don’t understand, the CEO needs a lot of money, to bribe cops when he rapes children.
How have you been alive long enough to write this post but not see why? People exploit each other for power and wealth and so not care that they hurt people or the suffering they cause. Those best at that are the CEOs and senators and leaders of nations, the most powerful positions there are, are held by psychopaths, sadists and narcissists. They convince us all that fighting back is futile, immoral or illegal. We could topple it all and every day we choose to get a latte and spend another 9 hours grinding away our time on this earth just to stay alive.
It’s all a fucking scam by rich ppl who are the most capable of the worst kinds of human beings.
Sounds like some surplus value generated from labour is being extracted by the people owning the means of production
I think this is the first time i heave read an entire sentence written in corporo-management-speak that has made sense logically without falling in a hole of words that ‘mean nothing but sound business’.
That’s commuspeak not corpospeak, as in, it is a central tenet of communism
Its nearly time for a general strike
Nearly??? So long overdue!!!
In the 1980s when Regean fired all unionized Air-Traffic-Control and replaced them using the military. USA workers did nothing, and that’s when they lost the game folks! THAT was the moment, do or die, national general strike or… They COULD still knock over the table and walk out of the casino… any day now… in the last 40 years… maybe tomorrow… day after?..
PS Some kids cutting class on a Friday or Monday every 3 months is NOT a general strike!
The USA general population has been an insult to the entire world history of resistance and protest, since the late 1960s, so fuck you very much for abandoning your watch and dooming us all, you weak ass-hats.
It was the boomers who sold us out to Ronnie Rayguns and the Heritage pricks, then beat compliance into us.
Its a slow process, but people are coming around.
Nursing homes are often owned by investment trusts who have to pay out to their investors based on profits, so the managers of the trust take it upon themselves to outsource the maintenance, management, and labor to other entities they control. At a healthy upcharge, the menials who perform the tasks associated are not even an afterthought. They work for a faceless corporation that is puppeteered by the same people who own the nursing home, who rents it’s facility from a real estate trust they also own, allowing them to extract as much value as possible from each level of the operation while limiting liability.
Worked in them for about 7 years.
You are correct.
We had one where could never get ANY supplies 1 year in despite a 25k lump sum buy in by residents. even before paying month to month rent.
My expeince is management will play the “heroes work here” type behavior and take advantage of people’s passion for elderly to then underpay then and mistreat them to the degree they do.
Why don’t good people start nursing homes
They’re run out of business if they even start. Otherwise it has to be a non-profit, which is reliant on fundraising and outside funding.
Remember the people running these are the landlords. Owners of commercial properties and the only entities with resource rights to able to develop. You know: the same entities that have been capable for generstions, but unwilling, to construct adequate housing.
This is what they build instead.
The daycare analysis is a bit different: that’s mostly just sheer insurance liability. Childcare centers need so much licensing and insurance, so it’s mostly done by backyard operations and church basements.
There are certain jobs that people really want to do. No matter how little the job pays, there will be people willing to do that job. Often these are the most important jobs.
That’s not a good match for a purely capitalist system where someone can’t survive on their salary. Unions are one way to fight this. Traditionally nurses had strong unions, but these days no union seems to be particularly strong. The other way is for the government to get involved and say that certain jobs are important enough that they get special exemptions from the purely capitalist system. That could mean different minimum wages, special tax exemptions, or all kinds of other things.
it because everyone is acting extractively because the economy is failing, it’ll be some time before theyre betten back into proper shape
Because it’s a scam. The people doing the actual work always make the least money.
Boomers built an economy based around raping the wealth and futures of their children, to fund their retirement.
They consistently voted for politicians and policies that would benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else, in basically every economic sector.
Of course they don’t pay their orderlies well either.
That would mean their 401ks wouldn’t go up by as much.
Only now that the most grotesque frontman conceivable is helming the logical conclusion of their mindset turned into policy, are they starting to regret it all.
The pathological narccisist gerontacry society.
Healthcare is the only sector with actual job growth now.
Everything else is collapsing.
The turned the entire country into basically a big retirement home supercomplex that you can’t opt out of.
I feel like half these problems would be fixed if everyone woke up and unionized. Corpos would have no leverage left.
The Pinkerton agency has entered the chat.
If you’re curious, yes they’re still around, yes they’re still doing it, and they’re owned by Securitas now.
Yeah they’re the cucks who bullied some kid over magic cards.
They also bitched about being villains in Red Read Redemption 2.
id be happy to see you stomp them flat like your country did last time.
I get what you’re saying, but even when the Pinkertons lost, the strike action was ultimately broken by force anyway. At one point the local sheriff was literally bombing coal miners.
I am very aware. Fuck them.
For the paycheck thing: the daycare takes the parent’s entire paycheck because daycare is so expensive because the working class hasn’t gotten a raise in almost 20 years. Providers need the second job because inflation is so high because people are getting what they voted for.
i work in a nursing home, but im afraid i’ll not be able to afford to die in one.
I’d rather walk in front of a bus than die in a nursing home, frankly. Wasting away unable to care for myself seems uniquely miserable.
I’m not saying i want to end up in a home, just that i should be able to afford one if i end up needing and want to be in one.
My uncle decided on MAID yesterday, i support his choice.
edit - grammar
(Not so) fun fact : that is exactly what some end up doing ! Gf’s grandmother escaped her nursing home to walk in front of a train.
Reasonable “death with dignity” options would erase the need for such drastic measures but of course the Christian Nationalists hate that kind of thing.
A job that requires wiping bums at any age should be very well paid.
There was a nurse in my province who killed eight nursing home residents at her job. She just enjoyed doing it. What a tragedy, to have someone use their power over you to kill you when you are most vulnerable.
(As far as we know)Women are a very small % of psycho(or-any-type?)killers. Like shabby mass (violent) slaughter attempts is absolutely a mostly-male thing
BUT
The tiny % of female psycho killers is mostly all elderly/disabled care, and when convicted 10s-100s of kills. And thats what an official thinks its easy to prove to a dead-beat-jury, so truth be told, some of those gals did 100s or 1000s!!!
So the rare “Venus-Libertina” of infrequent-occurence yet maximum-slaughter does indeed put men to shame
All this boils down to is that there is nothing more expensive than first-world human labor. Without a doubt, nursing homes are increasingly run by sleazy profiteers, but the reason you can’t easily do better (i.e. find a high-quality nursing home) is because it’s simply expensive to employ enough people, who have sufficient skill and work ethic, to give the elderly care.
Yes, PE in healthcare is destroying the country in every imaginable way. The answer in this case is more complicated than get the for profit companies out of nursing homes, which is necessary but not sufficient to solve the problem. The scariest thought is that there may be no good solution.
nursing homes could literally drain the elderly of their blood and sell it for extra income and they wouldnt be that much worse morally.
