One of my former PCAs, now Registered Nurse, was offered a $20k bonus to come back to a clinic she used to work at. The breaking point is hospital systems financially collapsing because they can't afford the stupid money it'll take to keep staff. That'll either be solved with tax payer bail outs or insurance increases that businesses can't afford. All roads lead to mandatory vaccination for the general public.

Well last night was fucking terrifying. My right index finger, which I use to drive my chair using a ps4 style joystick, decided to just stop working, meaning I couldn't drive. The muscle in my knuckle completely turned off after a spasm or 2. Spent all night in bed trying it and trying to figure out alternative driving methods. Woke up this morning, completely back normal strength, wtf. -

After we empty foster home care. -
I've been playing with this in my head and I'm curious what you all think. My understanding is part of the reason the armed groups were there was because riots aren't covered by business insurance, I'm sure the race issue was a huge factor too, but let's just take this issue for now. If the law required insurance cover riots in a timely fashion then you at least wouldn't have business owners inviting in armed groups. Right now, my understanding is one of the factors that goes into underwriting a business and homeowners insurance policy is the proficiency rating of the local Fire Department. If the local Fire Department sucks, rates go up and the insurance industry has an organization that grades departments. What if something existed like that for Police Departments? Where if the insurance industry determines that a Police Department is bad, insurance rates for the community and businesses go up, creating pressure on local governments to fix the Police Department by reducing the risk of incidents that could fuel/spark riots. In this case the Blake shooting might be justified but other factors about the local Police Department could have added fuel to the protests. In the Michael Brown case DOJ found a ton of factors within the local police that explained the intensity of the protests beyond the shooting.

Agreed, but the issue is the alternatives suck too. -

Just got accepted on the Developmental Disability Home Care waiting list, you all can pass this now thx. -
$30k is a pretty common price for most powerchairs (that's what mine cost). Most of my disabled friends who fly with similar chairs report that their chairs get broken in someway 50% of the time. I'm thinking about flying to SF this summer and this is the one logistical concern I have. This guy has my exact disability and chair, I don't know what the fuck they did to it.

13 Republicans voted for it. -
Honestly it reminds me of Bloomberg's Presidential campaign, they both threw a lot of money at "the best in the business" and expected they would just deliver the desired outcome.
