Waiting Skeleton

everyone was told tech jobs are the only viable future.

young people are told manual labor, care services, and maintenance are for dumb and poor people.

and here we are.

It's a hard job with short staff and under payment. It's crazy that it's rewarding yet exhausting for those working in the field because it's all about money. It makes no since when you put numbers to it that one person costs 12 to 24k a month in care when they basically get 3 crappy meals, and toileting, a room to share with another person who costs the same, all to receive short staffed care who makes 20 or under a hour and tries to juggle 20+ patients at once. Between energy bill cleaning supplies and staffing - initial set up for everything in a nursing home, it seriously makes no sense why elder care costs so much and remains so neglected in regards to patient staff ratios. We learned this during COVID, now can we set a standard requirement in America for the sake of the workers and elderly people in their care?

Could be worse…we could be like canaduh

We're not there yet but on our way.... Which is why we either need people who care, state laws that care and protect, or a regulatory system that actually does its job.
