Maybe I am bias from US… But we spend enough money for nurses to have a living wage. They just don’t get the money because rent seekers and money changers leech it all up.
I am sure you get these guys in Canada too, could start with cutting them out ;)
Nurses are predominantly hired by the government. There is probably some bureaucratic fat in there, but probably not as much as you might think. If all the government revenue in this province went directly to the currently employed nurses – leaving nothing for doctors, hospitals, transit, roads, etc. – we could still only double their incomes. There isn’t that much money to go around.
Which brings us back to:
No money, no honey. Why should working person provide medical services to bunch of mostly old clowns at reduced wage?
Boomers could do all of us a favour and die tho, would fix many of these issues we are having.
Not sure. I said the same thing in the beginning and got called a “bootlicker” for it. You tell me.
But if I were a gambling man, perhaps to avoid being called a bootlicker? I couldn’t care less, but that might bother some people.
You got called bootlicker for suggesting that better wage and working conditions is not a solution to labour shortage… to be exact.
Boomers want someone wiping their asses, they will need to start selling their mcmansions lol
To be exact, I said that better working conditions and pay won’t be enough to bring the antiques of retirement, nor will it be capable of outcompeting the jobs the people have moved on to do instead. Something I continued to repeat throughout the remainder of the thread thus for.
There was absolutely nothing said about better wages and working conditions not being a solution in a vacuum. I would find no reason to speak to that as the work doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Not likely. The “Me Generation” will just cry until their kids/grandkids give in and do it.
