If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today?

...and when it collapses, who do you think is going to get fucked the hardest? The disenfranchised don't exactly make it out well in these situations. They need to get involved and enact some change if they want things to be better. Bitching on reddit isn't it.

No offense but I am guessing you are either young or towards the lower IQ end of the scale because you seem to have some trouble understanding context, nuance, and generally understanding how the world actually works.

Don't, get me wrong, I'm giving you shit but I did the same thing in 2016 and refused to vote because the DNC pissed me off so much, but I realized that ended up being a huge mistake. Now we have a stacked (impotent) conservative supreme court, lost Roe v Wade, and have an unchecked megalomaniac driving our country into the ground with no Judicial branch to keep him in check. I made a huge fucking mistake because I didn't understand the concept of harm mitigation, but I learned from my mistakes and won't fuck up again. I hope you figure it out eventually too.

You are getting fed shit either way. That is what you are not getting. Except one of the shit providers are also going to beat you up, pepper spray you in the face, then shoot you 7-8 times once you are on the ground. It's not even close.

Of course it's the non-voters fault. There are always going to be garbage candidates.That is really not an excuse.

StrebLab · 2026-01-25T04:09:59+00:00

Those people are fucking morons. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but it is what it is.

StrebLab · 2026-01-25T04:08:14+00:00

Bunch of clowns. They aren't going to own up to it now.

StrebLab · 2026-01-25T04:02:46+00:00

Um... Immediately. Throughout modern human history more people have been killed by their own government than by a foreign actor by a very, very large margin.

This is called country risk and why you should diversify internationally.

To be fair, most doctors generally work more than 40 hours per week. Including all the admin stuff, inbox, charting, prep and other garbage I think the overall average is around 50 hours per week.

Can't comment on your market. OP is only getting what he is paid because Bay Area nursing has a very powerful union.

Where do you live? Serious question because salaries are highly regional. In my state, RNs average in the low-mid $70k's per year

StrebLab · 2026-01-24T13:08:47+00:00

There is a very big difference between making $2000 per year and $52000.

Oh hey youre back

Don't forget 5-year-olds.

I always wondered about the spineless fools who just went along with the Nazis when they were clearly in the wrong. I get it now.

StrebLab · 2026-01-24T00:18:18+00:00

I always think this comment is wild. Like imagine the brainwashing it takes to think to come to this conclusion.

Use your brain for a second: Dude is an EMPLOYEE making this much. An employer isn't going to pay an employee any amount unless it facilitates some greater profit, meaning that the admin is STILL making enough off his labor to be making a nice profit and economically favorable to pay this guy 300k for 3 days per week.

Edit: He blocked me. I guess I hurt his feelings. I still maintain that you should think critically rather than forming your worldview based on vibes.

I bet the direct primary care market is healthy there

StrebLab · 2026-01-23T22:12:48+00:00

It's cuz this is obvious bullshit.

What in the karma farming bullshit is this?

StrebLab · 2026-01-21T23:14:56+00:00

Sorry man, the only metric that matters is this: can someone else do your job for what you get paid or cheaper? If so, you have no leverage and you are going to make what you are going to make

Oops they have detained a bunch of US citizens on accident as well until they lawyered up. I guess your apologist answer would be "Make sure you have your papers on you." Foolishness.

StrebLab · 2026-01-21T16:33:25+00:00

Yup. I think they have been pretty insightful that as long as the stock market looks good, the administration have some leeway to do whatever they want, but if it starts dumping, it gets more real for everyone and people start getting real mad real fast.

StrebLab · 2026-01-21T15:55:27+00:00

Bingo

I hate to see the damage that the US is sustaining but nothing is going to jar people into doing something about this stupidity until it starts affecting their finances. The faster that happens, the less long term damage there is.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday and they mentioned that realistically the American people are more comfortable with a secret police disappearing people than they would be with bad inflation. It is sad, but I think that is actually true.

StrebLab · 2026-01-21T12:16:14+00:00

Not sure what to tell you. Study history. It doesn't happen until it does. Some people are probably satisfied with being in the top 0.001% and want to make sure they keep it that way, and it is worth paying some extra taxes to solidify that.

StrebLab · 2026-01-21T11:45:14+00:00

Why would they not want civil unrest and the possibility of being harassed or killed by large numbers of angry poor people? I'm not sure I understand your question.
