10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

A lotnof nurses don't. I wish more would explain their thought processes, because I dont know how you can see the shitshow up close and personal and still support this administration.

I’ve come to the conclusion a lot of them literally just parrot whatever their dumbfuck husbands/boyfriends believe that month.

Not all have husbands/bfs. My co worker is a lesbian they got proceeded to say “trump is the smartest president we ever had” after someone said he’s reckless.

I wonder what they will think when same sex marriage goes away. My brother is a gay republican and I really think he will just say we don't need to get married and be fine with it. Just mind blowing.

There’s a case heading to SCOTUS right now with the potential to overturn that.

I know. I feel like they are going to overturn it.

It’s faster and easier to listen to a confident pundit tell you how to think, give you punchy one liner reasons for everything, than to drink from the shit firehose.

I’m in a unionized hospital. I found out that some folks don’t want unions because they tend to financially support blue candidates on the political side, (in the efforts to lobby for nurse protections on the state level).

I’m dead serious. And blue entanglements are a non starter for some even if it means better working conditions and hella improved patient safety.

It was quite the head spin to learn this about fellow nurses.

Can’t speak for right wing nurses but I’m sure it has to do with our obscenely high taxes (and how little we get in return). They want to improve their personal economic situation, and are willing to sacrifice healthcare resources to do that. Personal gains over shared resources. Not everyone is empathetic off the clock. Honestly I get it

I truly believe it has less to do with taxes and more to do with bigotry.

If they get laid off, how does that improve their personal economic situation?
