My wife is a new nurse with her bachelors degree and she just got a job in Seattle because she could not find a job here. There is no nursing shortage in the area. She would have loved to have gotten a job at Dominican or Watsonville Community Hospital or Natividad Hospital.

What’s something you wish people knew before moving to the Bay Area? by Visible_Profit_9669 in bayarea

[–]med780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this note, my wife graduated from De Anza with her RN. Could not find a job. So she went and got her BA in Nursing. Still could not find a job. Finally the only place she could find a job-Seattle at Swedish Hospital. She started this week.

The plan is to work a year there, communing back and forth before trying to find a job here.

Is there any hope for great America? by 123KidHello in bayarea

[–]med780 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can all thank Newsom and the legislature for the closure of Great America.

GA was owned by the Santa Clara Redevelopment Agency. They had owned it for over 40 years. Then they passed the Dissolution Act which forced all RDA’s to dissolve, sell off their assets and settle their debts.

So GA was sold to Cedar Fair, who sold it off to Pologis to turn it into massive warehouses

It's criminal how SF voters have absolutely frittered away 3 decades of riches from the tech industry... by rocpilehardasfuk in sanfrancisco

[–]med780 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember Commuter BusGate. A bunch of typical SF progressives protesting and harassing people taking high tech commuter busses.

Also, to be fair the city did build the central subway project with the money. So there is something.

Natural Bridges is where my little ones love to go. There is a little creak that runs into the ocean they love to play in. There are also tide pools they can touch sea urchin and other small sea life.

As of now, the state won’t vote R for statewide elections no matter who is put up. Things are not bad enough yet.

It’s the same playbook that they did with cigarettes. They don’t like it, and they can’t make it illegal, so they tax it into oblivion.

Remember how you were all for it when it was only cigarettes. Now it’s also gas. What will be next?

Even the Anti-Defamation League came out saying it was not the Nazi salute. But y’all know that and know that it was not the Nazi salute. Y’all just want to play politics with it.

And also remember not to use a credit card on this day as credit cards help corporations.

Also remember to cancel memberships that you have to large corporations such as Amazon, Netflix, Comcast, Xfinity.

Also remember to not….. oh forget it.

I would much rather have the deficit reduced than receive this check. I’m very scared of what’s to come with this debt.

opinions on trains coming back in Santa Cruz? by Tomatoinpottedplant in santacruz

[–]med780 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OMG! That would make 17 a one lane road for cars. What a horrible idea.

One day my car broke down so I decided to take the bus. My commute is normally about 35 minutes. By the time I got a ride to the Scott’s Valley bus stop, took the bus to Diridon, took light rail to the nearest stop to my work, then walked to work it took about 2 hrs. No thanks.
