Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?

I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.

    Because the alternative is the rich paying more in taxes, and we can’t have that obviously.

      Not really.

      Universal healthcare could be more than paid for just with what we pay in insurance.

      It’s still money, but in this case it’s that profit healthcare is tied to employment causing employers across all industries to want less employees, which means a lot of overtime.

      The real solution was shortening the work week to spread the labor around while keeping salaries high.
