If nurses REALLY cared about sick people, they would take a big pay cut...or even work for FREE!

High taxes, extremely generous benefits to those who don’t work, and cutting back on the hours of work for those who do have job.
Even an idiot can see that that is a formula for failure.

I worked at a company that went to a 36-hour work week.

There were two ‘shifts.’

Shift A worked ten hours a day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then half a day (six hours) until noon on Sunday.

Shift B worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and the second half of Sunday.

It allowed the company to operate a minimum of ten hours a day, seven days a week .

As for the employees, we loved being off half a week every week. The only drawback was the expense of keeping oneself entertained half the week.

The reduced-hour workweek could (possibly) work for industries where the workers interact with computers/machines/etc that just get turned off at the end of the day. The problem with doing this for nurses is that their patients don’t just disappear at the end of the shift; someone still has to be there taking care of them, hence the need for additional staff. If this same experiment were tried at e.g. a software company or some other organization that doesn’t have a 24/7 aspect to it, I think they might see a better ROI.

Marxists have to be ready for pay cuts if they want to remain faithful to their church.
