The title, "US hospitals are so overloaded that one ER called 911 on itself" really speaks for itself.

The title, "US hospitals are so overloaded that one ER called 911 on itself" really speaks for itself.

There are two replies to highlight

Wife is a nurse. The issue is pay. They want these nurses to work 12hr shifts and overload them beyond safe patient levels, while also paying them less than McDonald's wages. Of course there are 300 open positions with zero people interviewing. It doesn't make any sense to take the job.

and a comment replying to the one above.

But if they're anything like my friend's place they bring donuts twice a month to say thanks!

Neglect the fact that the donuts down on the floor produce a stampeded of admin staff down onto the floor to eat said donuts. I used to think that nothing destroyed morale of an overworked team more than "donuts!", but my friend says that walking into a breakroom and seeing 2x more admin staff in the room stealing your donuts than you have on hand actually treating patients during your shift is worse, and I can see that.

Unsurprisingly, they don’t want to work as a corporate slave for the CEO / board to get a multi million bonus.

Hospitals in the US suffer from the same problem as a lot of other workplaces, it seems, being that of overworked and underpaid staff while admin and management gorge off profits. This is made all the worse by the fact that nursing is often one of the most mentally taxing occupations by default; their job regularly affects the life and death of patients, while they themselves have to bear witness to death and the worst excesses of human suffering. As such, it shouldn't come as any surprise that nurses have among the highest turnover rates and worst mental health of any occupation.

In the West they even make fuss about DRMs.

Doesn’t help that they want to implement DRMs into single player games. Unsurprisingly, people are unset when they are forced to connect to the internet to play an offline game. I suppose an example is like your built in calculator app on your phone won’t work until it’s connected to wifi. That is obviously not going to make people happy.

At least Macron and Scholtz have some spines, unlike their counterparts across the English Channel and Oder-Neisse...

China version of MMORPGs are forced to run phone/ID recognition to play. Else you get disconnected every 30 minutes and you can't play more than X Hours a day. That is what they called anti-addiction policy. In west it could violates scores of human rights even. In the West they even make fuss about DRMs. You are free to access Apps and Games in China, but when it gets detrimental to health and society, the government steps in, as they should. I don't see anything wrong about China forcing Apps maker to adhere to their policy. On data farming, its all ok if Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram etc collect data, when Chinese companies does it its suddenly wrong and immoral.

Well, that is only for some online games, and it's just a recommendation from health experts.

Whereas in the West, they put DRM on singleplayer only games forcing them to always go online and eventually losing the service despite the game being perfectly usable without DRM in singleplayer. This would be of dubious legality in China.

It's 2 different types of somewhat intrusive game industry, but one is driven by greed and the other isn't.

It’s not spine that forces these cowards to act but self preservation. The prospect of being guillotined by cold and freezing French starving from inflated food prices would’ve forced macron to recognise the leader of an oil producing nation.

Chinese authorities behind a major trade expo in Shanghai pulled an opening ceremony address by the European Council president that was set to criticise Russia's "illegal war" in Ukraine and call for reduced trade dependency on China, diplomats said.

"[Chinese company Bytedance] recognize that technology’s influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world"

Exactly, all the more hilarious when this is being broadcasted by the CIA-media

Doesn’t these progressional shitposters know that platforms like Tiktok doesn’t generate content or create trends? It just uses AI to push what the audience wants to see.

Western TikTok is that way because that’s the content the west’s own precious evil spawns creates and loves. Don’t go hating on Chinese kids just because they are not trash.
