Reply to comment by fightinforphilly in Pliny the Younger Day fundraiser returns to Monk's Café for first time since before pandemic by outerspace29

Yup — good info for anyone looking for RR generally (and nothing against those beers, I actually prefer Blind Pig to both Plinys), I just was under the impression that nowhere else in the city would have Younger available this year based on radio silence or closings from the usual suspects.

Reply to comment by DippyMagee555 in Penn Medicine residents and fellows want a union, citing grueling workloads and 80-hour workweeks by nankles

Remember when the AMA fought against Nurse Practitioners having increased responsibilities in care providing settings?

Look at the trains - we said things would break if we allowed workers to strike to pursue things like better staffing ratios and safer working conditions. The strike was prevented/broken and East Palestine is paying for the greed of the railroads.

It seems like these hospitals *will* break as a matter of when, not if. The number of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegen. disease patients is going to increase significantly as boomers and millenials age.

The for-profit hospitals' dilemma during the pandemic (a short-term shock of many patients everywhere at the same time) could not be resolved by clever management of travel nurses. Just-in-time deliberately removes as much slack as possible to turn it into profit, patients and care providers be damned.

We can pull the band-aid off sooner or we can deal with infection and sepsis later, but the bill for these profits that most of us don't see will come due.

No chance it'll accumulate, the ground needs to be cold enough for it to stick at all, and it's going to be so warm in the all the days leading up to Saturday that even if it does snow, it'll all melt before piling up.
