      And thank you for not replying with anything of substance! I know how much education is hated around here and I was growing worried that you might contribute to providing one, upsetting the locals.

        I don’t engage with bad faith actors and their teevee talking points.

        Employer needs wage slaves, it can compete on wages.

        Shiti emoloyers don’t get wage slaves… This is economics 101.

          While your Econ 101 is on point, perhaps you don’t understand what competition means?

          As soon as nursing employers offer a better deal, those who sucked up the nurses in the meantime will match – or even beat – it, giving no reason for those workers to change gears. Nursing will not win as it is not valued like other professions. The companies which are valued have bottomless pits of money to throw at people. The healthcare industry does not.

            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:

              and if you ever try to raise that tax bill – look out!

                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
