Since you are doing the questioning, why don't you do the research? I'm not getting outraged over people paying high prices for a concert. Follow the dollars if it's that important to you. I am outraged at the Dems because of the amount of emails I get daily from them begging for money with silly hysterical headlines. I just don't give them money anymore. It's not as if anyone was forced to spend their money on this concert. Let us know what you found.

Starlink is fabulous. I can see it in the nighttime sky. Elon Musk....not so much. Just beause he's a brilliant engineer means that he comes with a beer can of EQ. DOGE was an expensive failure and we will never know the costs of bringing back the thousands of people who were fired and that even included the engineers who guard the nuclear arsenal.

It surely took them long enough to figure out what we knew in a hot second. Plus, a federal judge has invalidated the $100,000 visa fees which stopped our hospital in it's tracks from recruiting foreign nurses. Now we can start to deal with where they will live in a market that is unfriendly to the middle-class.

Meanwhile the leaders of the ADA have resigned in wake of the scuffle. I have yet to find out anything that happened except for people silently handing out copies of a report on the agenda for the meeting. This isn't good for us or the ADA. NOLA might lose business over their over-aggressive "policing". I know meetings happen there because they are cheaper when the temperatures are steeper but, being a former resident of that city, they need all the dollars they can make. Meanwhile, the Gordie Howe bridge will open despite Trump's blathering to hinder it from happening. Detroit hospitals use Canadian nurses so being able to commute via the interstates will make it easier for them to come to the jobs Americans don't want to do anymore.

OH, I thought that was the purpose of the raccoon penises, ground and downed with a cold glass of raw milk. Meanwhile, I read about the 600 cases of illness in Utah from raw milk. That has got to be awful sick. I wonder what RFK's prescription is for that.

I'm still traumatized by his murder in The Wire. He was a GOAT right from the very beginning of his career.

Being looted is bad enough but being looted to reimburse criminals makes it depressingly worst.

It would be so much easier if we just followed a policy of separating religion from politics but then the government might have to pay attention to more difficult problems and they don't want to do that. It so much easiler to grieve about something as undefinable and ephemeral as religion. I think most people are uncomfortable with enforced dogma and it's depressing that businesses fear Trump enough to endorse him.

I'm sure a website on economics can explain it better but here's the down and low. Like Dislike Are We in a K‑Shaped Economy?Recent economic data and expert analysis suggest the U.S. is indeed experiencing a K‑shaped economy, a term describing a period when different income groups follow divergent recovery paths — with high‑income households outpacing lower‑income households in spending and growth Forbes+1. What a K‑shaped economy means In a K‑shaped recovery, the "top" of the K represents strong growth among higher‑income consumers, while the "bottom" of the K shows slower or stagnant growth among lower‑income households. This divergence can mask underlying economic weakness in certain segments Forbes. I live in a tourist town. According to the folks who keep those statistics, we were down 10% last year in Canadians visiting. Houses over a million dollars sell in days and there isn't much stock for middle class housing. However, we are constantly building apartments for people who need subsidized rents. That would be part of the result of a K economy. Restaurants haven't recovered from Covid because of staffing. It's really tough to find a place to go out to eat on a Monday night. Even the hotel restaurants aren't open. We went out this past Monday after a political event in the evening and finally found a place that was edible. Two cheeseburgers and two half pints plus the tip was $74. I think we are probably in the middle of the K. It was eye-opening and our waiter looked like he might have been homeless recently.

Maybe this is part of the K economy where the wealthy are getting wealthier so we can expect more people vacationing. The people on the bottom of the K stay home and those of us in the middle just cut back on the little luxuries....like plane tickets for vacations:)

I am now retired after almost 4 decades of anesthesia. I had a minimum of CC experience was otherwise had 10 years of experience from CCU to DON. Nursing and medicine are based on science. Where you have your ICU experience is less important than your experience in total. In the real corporate world of anesthesia, the large majority of your cases are bread and butter. You need enough experience to not freeze when exposed to that rare emergency that arises during a case ...however long that takes. Remember that most of your cases are well buffed before they ever enter the OR. However, it takes a certain kind of person to tolerate the kind of stress it takes to be the coolest person in the room when things go downhill. Good luck to you.

Trying to be "perfect" at all times is exhausting and futile. Call this a lesson learned and forgive yourself. We have difficult jobs when caring for others and this isn't going to be the last time you see patient abuse. Now you have learned how to respond and you will handle it better the next time.

I don't understand why anyone, including, HCR, finds it a good use of their time to put political labels on deranged people. The point is that their behavior is totally unpredictable which is what makes them deranged and dangerous.

I would challenge this woman to provide us with some facts. Trump had demonstrated over and over his disdain for the non-wealthy and his eagerness to close down entire agencies to fuel his high cost agendas. He will never "win" the war in Iran...the Iranians make lego memes and laugh at his stupidity while the only thing they have to do is wait. Now Trump announces that he can't feed his nation and accuses the poor of stealing from the rich.

Another guilty person behaving badly. Does anyone really believe he kept his tidy whities on for that massage?

This is useful for all nurses to know. I wish we could make every nurse read this. When part of the health care dollar is going to shareholders, it isn't coming to us or the patients. If NY can pass protections, every state can do it if nurses and nursing assistants only participated in the process.

I would definitely consider those comments both and that's why I'm asking if it was a response to you somewhere in this thread. I missed it although I've missed a lot with accidently getting banned from the website (accidently). As far as my remarks in the above, if you read it closely you would know that I labeled it it stupid. It's how conspiracy theories get started. Someone says something stupid and someone stupid agrees with the theory:) I would definitely consider those comments both and that's why I'm asking if it was a response to you somewhere in this thread.

Sources for your comments? Was that here on AN? I don't know who Matt Walsh is but my immediate maybe not bright take on this was that the shooter may never have planned to kill anyone but take an abbreviated sentence for attempted manslaughter in a plea, spend 5 to 10 years in prison, and then collect his earning for participating in the promotion of a newer, "safer" ballroom. Of course, it's harder to keep the building secure when you are blabbering to the entire world about the size of the basement and the windows. I don't wish Trump to be shot...just to go away by any other means.

What does invading Iraq have to do with our national security? The only advantage for us is that we can sell more weapons to Netanyahu. I have huge problems with the Democrats but still could never vote for Hitler-Lite. Both parties are useless now. Neither one has any platform that we could read. But Trump under any circumstances is a hard no. The thinkng Republicans left the Republican party early and now we still have more commentators jumping off his ship. You'd have to have your hands over your eyes and your fingers in your ears to vote for this guy. I did a psych rotation and I did a semester rotation in Brooklyn State. I've seen what toxic narcisicm looks like. He's only one tiny blood clot away from believing he's Napoleon and his party has done absolutely nothing to tell him he isn't.

This arc is the same one Hitler wanted built on the Kurfurstendamm in Berlin which fortunately never got built. Sane people can only hope the same for us. If it goes up, it will eventually be torn down as a statement that we are over the worst of times. How does a Hitler-like arc become an improvement in any sense of the word "improvement?"

We can hope. However, his unhinged behaviors have been accelerating. The new Jesus meme HE posted is quite nuts. It's Dr. Strangelove time. We can hope. However, his unhinged behaviors have been accelerating. The new Jesus meme HE posted is quite nuts. It's Dr. Strangelove time.

We look forward to every Thanksgiving serving on WNYC of Alice's Restaurant. It's our tradition and I hope the station never stop.

Colorado probably wants you to vote by mail. Unsolicited ballots do not go to unregistered voters. If you ate so gung ho on in person voting, why not volunteer to be a poll worker this year? They need you.

Your leader voted by mail. Why cant I? What states in this mid term will be sending out unsolicited ballots?
