They don't get paid enough at the best of times, and right now they definitely deserve more.

Nurses receive fair compensation. Women dominate the field for a reason and I’m sure you can figure it out

Oh Bruce- please go away and take any personal beliefs/positions back into the orange-tinted cave from which you pulled your underdeveloped head from the sand.
Please let Gritty be your personal spokesperson going forward. He is 50IQ points smarter than you, easily- and he never says a word. You’re as despicable as any politician for blame-shifting god knows what your fox news inspired diatribe was feebley attempting to convey. Also, increase your malaria pill dosage by 2X as your clueless hero/leader/expert of all things suggests. One day....we will wake up and this will all.....disappear. Bring the ban Ek- I’d take 5+ Game Misconduct to instigate this bag of wormsh!t any time.

A little 5 AM fit of rage eh? Don't agree with his opinion so he must go away and not come back? What authority do you have to tell people what their opinions should be? Typical self righteous pseudo intellectual that thinks they know more than everyone, so any different opinion is to be attacked and ridiculed. In my experience most of those types know very little, but have big opinions, and even bigger mouths.

I used to vote for the left, but as an independent I find this angry, browbeating, hate laced finger pointing approach to political discourse that has spawned from this past election and social media, very undesirable. Both sides do this, but the left smears anyone before they can even articulate an opinion. Its status quo to use some random label as a counterpoint to browbeat alternating opinions. Its getting old.

I am real tired of tribally minded group thinking leftists forcing identity politics down everyone throats, and peacocking some self envisioned moral high ground. I guess most of your are just obtuse to the fact they merely do that to troll for votes from various groups. I don't know if you have noticed, but women and minority groups are getting pretty sick of a bunch of apathetic old white politicians telling them what they should think, and believe, and downplaying their ability to function in society to somehow be their 'savior' when in reality they just need good politicians and an economy they can get a good job in, the same as any American.

The Republicans aren't any better constantly bringing God into Government affairs where they both should be unilaterally accommodating everyone regardless of age, sex, religious beliefs, etc. All Americans should be held in the same respects as any other one. It is not a difficult concept. But they can't help themselves.

Politics is about policy. We all benefit from good policy. We need politicians who will stop with the ideological nonsense and start governing for the whole community. Look at the way they have politicized a pandemic. Extremely inappropriate, yet Pelosi tried to add all that pork, the media constantly casts aspersions about how it is being handled, and Trump can't stop self recommendations to be intertwined into his briefings. None of that helps the cause.

Meanwhile both groups groups are owned by lobbyists and have been consistently terrible over the years. Watching Democrats argue with Republicans is like arguing which turd in the bowl floats better. It is time to take a step back and realize they are both turds.

I just can't get my arms around why people would be so confident and fight so hard for people that could care less about you. Do you really think Trump or Pelosi, or any of these politicians really care about you at all? What a joke.

They didn't become millionaires doing philanthropic work that's for sure.

Either way berating people for their opinions is for soft minded people that cannot articulate a decent argument so they have to add a few ad hominem attacks in there to "strengthen their case" where if it held any water to begin with, you could merely present your argument.

If you were confused at all, let me highlight the fact that calling people "underdeveloped", "low IQ", and "despicable" because you disagree with their opinions, absolutely, undeniably, makes you a bigot.

You can choose to conduct yourself however you want, but if you are going to act like a bigot, be prepared to be relegated as such. This is a tough time for all of us here. You can hold your opinions and think Trump, or Pelosi are great or terrible and that is totally okay. But the moment you start telling others what their opinions should be, and even going further to personally attack them for their beliefs is when you become a bigot and a moron.

Nurses in New York make 90k or more.

With that being said yes men is raising money to send them food because there working double shifts.

It's not about how much they make ( even though they make good money) it's about doing something for someone else
