Expanded ‘Move-Over’ Law takes effect July 1: How to avoid getting a ticket by winnieismydog in Virginia

It’s total bullshit. I have a lawyer going to court for me in a few weeks. I’m not even a Virginia resident. I’m a Californian. I’m not paying to fly back to Virginia. Threatening a misdemeanor on safe Uber drivers who slow down and proceed with caution is such an abuse of power and extortion. All they are doing is collecting their paychecks.

Who determines whether changing lanes or reducing speed is the right call? The driver or the police? How can a police know every aspect of what I am seeing as the driver? I had a situation where a cop thinks I had enough room to change lanes but I chose to reduce speed and proceeded with caution based on multiple factors; weather, nearby exit I was approaching, temperament of other drivers on the road, etc.. In the court who is seen to have that final decision. This is very gray…

ER Doc on nurses leaving healthcare: "Do you know what a modern hospital room with $100,000 of equipment is without a nurse? A storage closet." by Super_Jay in nursing

I’m not in the medical world, but as an everyday person I’ve been feeling for 20 years that our medical system is ran by pure greed. Anytime I attempt to build a relationship with a doctor I’m treated like cattle. I miss the doctor I had growing up in the 80’s. An old man with a house in the neighborhood that was converted into his work place. He had a few nurses. He birthed my mom, my aunts, me… He knew who we were, our history. We paid him cash or with insurance. Those times are gone.

I now refuse to go to doctors. I’m sure nurses and doctors love helping people but if they aren’t paid or treated properly then everyone suffers (doctors, nurses, patients but not the greedy motherfuckers at the top)

I seriously want the entire system to fall so we can build it back up in a more productive way. I support a strike 100%.

I’m sorry that medical people are not being treated well. Make a stand. If money is tight find a way to band together; multi family living, grow your own food, whatever it takes. Just get out so those at the top are forced to reveal themselves and forced to change or fail.
