    OG Nurses: How did you use paper charts?

    heron replied to Nmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Same here ... the scolding was hilarious, though. I miss all the COBs - these fora were so lively back then. Times change, I guess

    OG Nurses: How did you use paper charts?

    heron replied to Nmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    One of the young'uns got all thin in the nose over it. Too disrespectful, she said. There was a short-lived attempt at a COB forum over in the breakroom but no go - too many of us are no longer...

    Why would liberals rejoice? You've been reading too much libertarian propaganda, I think. This whole discussion reminds me of the early arguments over the environment and climate change. Us...

    An interesting tangent: at fee.org (Foundation for Economic Education) - The Smoot-Hawley Tarriff and the Great Depression. The essay discusses the possible effects of the tariff on the creation...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes. There's something to be said for a mechanism by which bad actors are held at least financially responsible for the damage they do, while skipping the expense and disruptions of a trial. Not...

    Questioning Zohran Mamdani

    heron replied to luv2's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    And there's the sticking point: regulated capitalism. This is what scares the offal out of conservatives, honest and con men alike, The idea is what makes "communism" such an effective dog whistle...

    That's quite the gish gallop there. Got some real good dogwhistles tucked in there, too. Since you clearly can't tell the difference between a communist and a social democrat, it's unlikely that this...

    So, I get that this candidate disturbs you. What I'm not getting is that Mamdani is bad because: the magasphere will use him as a talking point? Or is it his actual proposals? Or both? Lotta...

    I live in New Mexico I don't care about Mamdani, his career or his politic philosophy. This thread is weirding me out for some reason, so I'm gonna go watch Law and Order

    First of all, Mamdani is not a communist. He is a Democratic Socialist. They are not the same. Democratic socialists are allowed (to and often do) own property, invest in businesses and be rich....

    I think you raise some good questions. I don't think that the naive platform of an inexperienced local legislator is a particularly productive starting point. I might change my mind about that as the...

    I briefly skimmed his website a couple of days ago. Not a NYC resident, so that's about as much time as I'm going to spend on his campaign for now. That being said, the site is heavy on the...
