Most people are killing their selves with third jobs to share apartments.

    It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.

    We need to stop attempts to normalize the system that requires grind/hustle lifestyle to exist
    Most people are killing their selves being killed by said system, that demands third jobs and to share apartments because those at the top need another yacht.

    FTFY

      Abso-fucking-lutely, this, all the way.

      People aren’t “work-a-holics.” They ain’t there because it’s their dream. They’re there because they need absurd amounts of money to survive in this neoliberal capitalist dystopia.

      Those that say they rise and grind and love it are faking it til they make it. They’ll never make it, and will fake it to the grave.
