They are not going to come back.

Probably busy packing bags and planning their move to other states.

True. This healthcare worker shortage is now permanent. In three or four months Hochul is going to be on TV begging the fired workers to return and won’t get many takers. She will offer back pay if they come back, and still get a Fuck You from the workers. New York is irreversibly fucked thanks to Demoncrat “leadership.”

Offering incentives does not seem to be her style. She prefers threats and other manifestation of raw power. More likely she will threaten to confiscate any accumulated retirement credits for those who do not return. And what the hell happened to old time Unions? Old time Unions would never tolerate Hochul bringing in Filipino nurses, as that is tantamount to scab labor practices.

I'll make a tour of some Manhattan hospitals today to see if any of healthcare workers are protesting outside, and I'll lend them my support.

Update: limited schedule so I was only able to scope out two locations. Zero protesting, could be from the rain. Could be those that were removed have already moved on.

One observation though, much of the medical staff I saw looked young. Almost not even out of college yet young.

I'll keep updating as I gain more observations.

Won't get any takers. Nobody regrets leaving NY.

OSHA is also making an exception whereby employers are specifically not required to report harms caused by the jab mandates.

Holy crap, I just checked and it's TRUE.

DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers' vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination at least through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.

Nurses are in high demand everywhere. They can move to TX or FL and will be hired instantly...

This should be something that could be determined in real time by policy makers or interested media, by poling travel/transient nursing personnel agencies. Whatever the hell services that exist to service these needs must have up to the minute data.

Don’t forget, Iran is provoking a war with Israel that could break out any minute.

Oh bullshit.

We all know goddamned well that if Israel gets into a war, the US will fight it - and that includes the Iranians.

I was thinking that the traveling nurses were scoping out places to consider permanently relocating to....

And what the hell happened to old time Unions?

Unions have nearly universally sold out their membership to the vax nazis. We’ve known that union leaders were lefties, but we didn’t realize how utterly derelict they were capable of being when their true loyalties to Democrats conflicted with the duties to their members.

Not only that, but there's plenty of room beside his corpse in the endzone of Giant's Field.

Lee Zelden is just a candidate - no probe will happen.

The moral turpitude of modern day leftoids is unrivaled

Hardly. In the USSR kids would denounce their parents which would lead to their execution.

Pavlik Morozov is a famous example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlik_Morozov

He was a martyr according to the government. He was murdered by his father's family. Most of the story was likely falsified, but there were believers. The story was used for decades

So, we're not there yet.

That was 100 years ago, we should enlighten with time, similar to the fact that we're not in the middle ages anymore. For today it comes very close, Russian roulette with a good chance of premature death or lose your livelihood.

We have enlightened, but don't you realize they are trying pull us back?

I used to view televangelists and religion as being the threat, and that threat was diminished, but the new tact is communism. The problem as I see it is we have a deeply uninformed public. Our government was promoting religious insanity in the 1980's now they are promoting communism. We defeated the first, now we have to defeat the second.

The worry though is that defeating the 2nd, that can lead to a demand for an absolute rule, a sort of fascism. I expect the next push (and we can already see it) will be for a new feudalism.

We are improving however, I see education being decimated, youtube is filled with nonsense "science" now, propaganda is constantly promoted as "truth". The establishment is getting more desperate and more dangerous, but they aren't worldwide. Even if the United States fails, we have to make certain other nations don't.

The Internet is a cornucopia of information but it has more bullshit today than it did 20 years ago. I think that can be corrected.

There really is a war between good and evil. Never thought I'd say that 20 years ago, but it's obvious to me now. There's a real force to keep people ignorant and helpless versus a force that wants to free everybody. Everybody is better off in an enlightened society, except the scammers, the liars, the parasites - that's who runs our society.
