    House and Senate Democrats introduce legeslation to increase federal min. wage to $15/hr by 2025

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    To clarify my previous clarifications, I don't think an employer's pay range should start at the highest possible living wage in order to ensure every single employee is at or above the living wage...

    The Insurrection: Trump 2nd Impeachment Trial starts 2/09/2021

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not sure what exactly is up for dispute, It seems the only thing to get hashed out is whether it should be tolerable for a sitting President to try to stay in power despite losing an election by...

    "I'm not floating."

    MunoRN replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked at a couple of union hospitals where the unions pushed for floating. To meet variable staffing needs, it's either floating or low census, and while I personally love LC and can't really...

    The Insurrection: Trump 2nd Impeachment Trial starts 2/09/2021

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not sure how it can be claimed that the impeachment trial isn't related to holding those responsible for the January 6th attempted coup. Trump publically admitted that he was aware the false...

    President Biden thread

    MunoRN replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I have three kids in school and my wife's a teacher, so maybe my expectation of what "reopening schools" looks like had the advantage of insider information, but I've never been under the impression...

    House and Senate Democrats introduce legeslation to increase federal min. wage to $15/hr by 2025

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Exactly, if you can't afford the product or service then you don't get to have it. Supplementing businesses that can pay their costs just reduces the role in the market of those who can, that's the...

    Grocery store workers hazard pay

    MunoRN replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've never been under the impression that nursing doesn't involve caring for patients with communicable diseases, or that epidemics or pandemics can occur, so I don't expect extra pay for something...

    House and Senate Democrats introduce legeslation to increase federal min. wage to $15/hr by 2025

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Except that's not how the cost paid for goods and services is determined. If I need a new oven and the seller says it costs $5000, I can't say 'it's only worth $2000 to me, so I'm going to pay $2000...

    House and Senate Democrats introduce legeslation to increase federal min. wage to $15/hr by 2025

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think I've said a couple times before that I don't think the base wage has to be sufficient to support a family with kids, but it needs to be within reach of a livable wage with kids through hard...

    I don't think it hurt her with QAnon at all, I'm sure most QAnon'ers took her statements with a wink and nod. Keep in mind that a central tenet of QAnon is that the government is run by a cabal...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I would disagree that increasing the federal minimum wage can be accurately described as the government mandating what a business pays, it's the government mandating that the government shouldn't be...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not sure where you're getting that I said someone should be paid more solely because they have a kid, I've said the opposite of that a couple of times. What a minimum wage should do is make a...

    A bit confused about use of Ringer Lactate in blood loss

    MunoRN replied to Demareseitipota's topic in Patient Medications

    The best fluid for treating blood loss is blood. It's certainly not unusual for providers to think of the problem with blood loss as being simply hypovolemia, and the easiest way to increase...

    Biden has signed 42 executive actions. Here's what each does

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Most of the supply chain in the 'clean energy' sector comes from China because Trump reversed the Obama and Bush administrations' investments in these economic sectors in favor of the coal industry,...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Executive order are typically specific to each President, when a President leaves office it's common to revoke the previous President's executive orders, just as it's common to replace the press...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I find the MIT livable wage calculator to be reliable: Living Wage Calculator (mit.edu) What I said in another post is that the base "livable wage" isn't necessarily intended to be a livable wage...

    As delusional conspiracy theorists go, no, I don't think they are comparable, I'm not aware of any delusional conspiracy theories AOC as promoted. MJT on the other hand has promoted the claim that...

    Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    MunoRN replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't start really recovering from accumulated fatigue until the second or even third night off following a stretch on of any length if I'm working nights. If my stretches off are not...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The makeup of our economy doesn't change just because everybody in the workforce gets a PhD or MBA. The portion of the economy made up by the service sector doesn't change, it's still the largest...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It's what they're worth, I could probably get away with less although the extra money in my pocket wouldn't be worth guilt. I still 'work' there a bit so I can't really be detached enough from my...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I've never heard of AOC making claims of Jewish space lasers starting forest fires and other assorted far out delusions, I'd say she's more comparable to Jim Jordan; a not-so-bright populist. I'm...

    It's a restaurant, starting wages vary by position and I have two salaried positions, the servers and dishwashers start at $17/hr, the line cooks start at $20 but I rarely put someone as a cook who...

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree with you that the minimum wage should not be enough to support a family, and at $15/hr it doesn't, even if the lowest cost of living states (the basic living wage for Kentucky for a parent and...
