GFGJewbacca , in Nursing Homes Must Boost Staffing Under First-Ever National Standards

Thank God at least something is being done about this. I don’t think it’s perfect, because I feel like the requirements they’re imposing will barely help most patients deal with basic daily tasks. Even so this is way better than little to no coverage at all.

I thought republicans want to ban participation trophies?

It’s not a labour shortage though. Pay people more and they’ll come work.

Pistcow ,

Nursing homes cost $9k a month and they pack them in like sardines. I’m sure they can pay $5/hr more and add a few more staff.

Shareholders don’t like that. How dare you even point that out!

thisisawayoflife ,

If you’re lucky it’s 9k. It was about 13k for my mom before she died. We feel it was a mistake to do that and we pulled her out because we could take better care of her at home with some hired help for when we were exhausted.

The CNAs were understaffed, undertrained and underpaid and had to deal with some literally crazy people wacked out from dementia and other brain rot that wrote simply made them violent and angry. The people that have to endure that daily need to be paid more, period. We need to start telling our kids that if they want to serve the country, don’t go into them military - go into healthcare. I’d story giving them an equivalent to the GI Bill.

Ugh I’m so glad Shapiro won

I remember when there was a real fear the elections would go to an insurrectionist and a snake oil salesman. Phew.

That would require them to admit they are wrong. Can’t keep the grift up if they do that!

Ensign_Crab , in Ambridge man arrested with gun outside church and appeared 'ready for a standoff'

Every gun owner thinks they’re a responsible gun owner.

CADmonkey ,

The responsible ones don’t end up on the news threatening a church, though.

Ensign_Crab ,

And they think they’re responsible, same as this guy. Too many of them are mistaken.

Or do meth.

Potatos_are_not_friends , in After nearly 30 years, Pennsylvania will end state funding for anti-abortion counseling centers

Good.

These places often disguise as places to “support women and pregnancy” and often are just places to guilt and pressure. Literally state sponsored religion.

query ,

If not outright kidnap people. People don’t know what they’re going in to, they don’t tell them “come here to not have an abortion”, they pretend they care about them only to do everything they can to stop them accessing healthcare.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Not to mention lie to women until it’s too late to get an abortion. They’ll lie about things including abortion risks, the gestation of the pregnancy (so the woman will think it’s earlier when it’s not), and hide any pregnancy risks that the woman has (if they know about them at all because the staff is not medical professionals).

query ,

Exactly. The goal is to make it impossible for them to have an abortion, not to give them the necessary information or convince them to see things their way.

At what point do we ingest enough microplastics to become plastic and stop aging/decomposing? Asking for a friend.

Sorry, not meant as an insult, just a brain fart from the idea of people ingesting so much plastic that they become plastic.

Seriously though, I wonder if future anthropologists will be able to age their findings by looking at plastic cobtent, similar to radioactive steel

gps , in Employers added 187,000 jobs in August, unemployment jumps to 3.8%

It’s up .3, which is an 8.5% increase. That’s a pretty sharp increase.

GiddyGap ,

That’s a pretty sharp increase.

From a very low starting point. Economists generally consider unemployment 5 percent or under to be maximum employment.

Okay6120 , in 63% of workers unable to pay a $500 emergency expense, survey finds. How employers may help change that

this would be very helpful during the times where the $500 emergency is the need for a pizza party

This is a sanctuary city for cops who should've been deported to prison.

A deputy sheriff terminated for slapping a handcuffed inmate without provocation.

There is no acceptable reason for slapping someone who's cuffed. Provocation my ass.

Buelldozer ,
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

What’s sad is that you KNOW the Deputy wasn’t really terminated for that. That incident was near certainly downwritten to be less severe than it actually was and you can you bet $$$ that this Deputy had a history of it.

These people don’t get fired for one off slapping incidents. They only get fired for severe and repeated infractions and even then only after one of them goes public and can’t be kept quiet.

There aren’t many people more scummy than real estate investors

Iamdanno ,

I agree with the sentiment, but if they are just offering to buy (no one is forcing the owners to sell), I don’t see a problem.

DrPop ,

You say that, but what happens is they but from whoever is willing to sell, them muscle out the rest, the act of selling also diminishes the community to a point where it can no longer sustain itself. Then when they develop the property taxes go up for those who didn’t sell to the point where they may as well sell since they can’t afford to live in their home. Real estate firms are a racket.

Iamdanno ,

That’s just called economics. Every time someone sells, the prices are adjusted up or down depending on supply and demand. As long as there isn’t fraud or theft, It happens every day of the year, all around the world.

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

You don’t see an issue with speculators preying on traumatized people before the bodies of their loved ones and neighbors are even cold yet?

Iamdanno ,

I guess i don’t consider it “preying on” someone to offer to buy their property. As long as there isn’t coercion, I don’t see a problem.

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Normally I wouldn’t either but I think that timing is everything and asking them now is pretty tasteless

Iamdanno ,

Honestly, now is probably their only chance to get any of that property for anything approaching a reasonable amount.

ApathyTree ,
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

So if your community burns down, and your house and all possessions were part of that, you’d be fine having a bunch of rich people bothering you within days of your loss, to take advantage of your misfortune - just lost literally everything, sentimental or financial - to sell for a fraction of the normal actual value to a company hoping to make massive profits on your land, and thus on your misfortune?

Where do you live so I can keep that in mind…? I’m not rich, but if that’s your mindset I’d definitely be willing to bother you.

Iamdanno ,

They can ask if they want, but they can’t make me sell. I can ignore them them.

Clent , in This Texas town has about 250 people. It has 50 sworn police officers.

Fuck the south.

Time to build a wall along the mason dixie line and cut off their federal funding.

Mexico can have them.

InverseParallax ,

Fuck the south, build that wall. We need to keep all the criminals and filth out.

Feel bad for Mexico though, they deserve better. Hopefully they build a wall too.
