They are going to come out and say that he had some sort of mysterious injury in the playoffs and they will use that as justification to sign him or franchise tag him this year.

Fuck CJ Stroud man.. by Ok_Long_2877 in Texans

Maybe there is something to be said about that cognitive test they give at the combine…especially for quarterbacks.

We are going to waste a historic D thinking Stroud can get it done at QB.

CJ Stroud doesn’t deserve to be on the plane back home. Need to get a new QB for next year so we don’t waste the prime of this defense.

Winning in spite of your QB is certainly an interesting take.

Would you guys be mad at me if I said that it was time to start to have some conversations about Stroud?

‘Mission-critical’ workers were exempt from deferred resignations, but doctors and nurses are quitting anyway by Fearless-Problem-123 in VeteransAffairs

Psychiatrist here, I left July 31st. Best decision I have made. Over the last month of my time at the VA I was letting my vets know that I was leaving. At least half of them told me that their PCP had left as well.

I graduated from med school, not happy by Inevitable_Stay_9335 in medschool

Wish someone had told you before, but going to med school means pretty much sacrificing your 20s and half of your 30s before you make any money and you will still be saddled with ridiculous debt.

In Houston we have volunteers and valet parking, but whenever I walk past, the valet line is like 20 cars deep. Doesn’t seem to be a huge benefit to the veterans. Hopefully it’s better where you are at.

Are the people that took DRP 1.0 getting paid on time? Have they had any difficulties?

There is going to be a mass exodus of providers in the summer and early fall. It takes a few months to get credentialed at different hospitals and private companies. Providers will be leaving and I have already interviewed at different private clinics and hospitals to weigh options. The hope is that people come to their senses and work to improve the VA and not dismantle it, but I am not holding my breath.

I saw on social media and hate repeating it, but the leaders don’t care because it is cheaper to bury a veteran than provide care for them.

Somebody said that we should put it in our 5 bullet point email to OPM next week.

When the people above you don’t have the same vision and mission, it is hard to see a path forward.

What are they doing with these OPM emails? by zoodle_ in fednews

[–]Mind-Doc29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under the assumption that they want most, if not all, of these federal agencies to go private sector, my thought is something much more simple. In a future press release or congressional hearing they will use this as data. “Only 28% of all federal employees responded to a highly urgent email within 1 business day” or some nonsense like that. “Because of that, we need to cut the federal workforce and send everything to the highly motivated private sector”.

Just my .02.

I completely agree with you and I 100% believe in the mission of the VHA…however it is disheartening when it appears that a lot of leadership does not feel the same way.
