I have a friend whose wife is a nurse and she decided to work as a “travel nurse” because it was stupid not to–the pay was at least double her current pay, plus she was given a stipend for room/board/travel expenses. It was a fantastic deal for her and allowed them to save a bunch of money for a while.

Edit: i still think the situation was exceptionally shitty to those who stayed where they were. For “Essential” workers they sure aren’t treated like it

Maybe we can convince them using Alaska and Hawaii as examples… The states don’t have to be contiguous 😉

“Hey, look at us–we’re the new public hangout, everyone’s invited”

“Sorry poors–paying customers only, please.”

Embrace, extend, extinguish all over again 🎉

He hasn’t even taken office yet and we’re already full-speed-ahead to Stupidville. Headlines like this are a mere warm-up to the shit-show that’s brewing

Will they also be donating a cool million to his inauguration though? They aren’t gonna get very far with him if they didn’t 😬

Fuckers out here getting denied for health insurance claims at record rates while money flows like a raging river from corps to pols

I ran into a live performance they did in 1985 the other day while i was doing yard work. It was really good, they’re all phenomenal musicians. The crowd response was nutty, it was cool to see/hear that many people loving the hell out of the music and the band.

At least we can now put a price on our privacy, lol

The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico. “We did complete a PAA for the Social Influencer Mr. Beast, but ultimately did not support the production as he did not go to Puerto Rico for the Hurricane relief, so that PAA is cancelled,” a Pentagon official wrote in an email obtained by Rolling Stone.

Guess Jimmy found something more profitable to sink is grubby fingers into.

We also need to ask why the fuck are we throwing money at people that are ‘planning on’ having a relief effort (as a form of self-promotion, clearly–if he cared that much to help he would have found a way) instead of having a relief effort for the sake of helping people that need help??

Puerto Rico is part of America for some reason so i have to assume they’re entitled to aid. But I’m sure when PR signed the contract there was probably some gotcha hidden in there that allows America to refuse to help or some other slimy bullshit, lol.

Is this really where the future of disaster relief is headed? Whoever decides to make a vanity project out of the reconstruction gets government funding? 🤡

Robert P. Jones, president and founder of PRRI, told Axios that he felt uneasy about simply having to survey voters about their support for rounding up immigrants and putting them into military-run camps in the first place.

That pretty much sums up modern America, right? “I can’t believe I’m asking this” must be the mantra for reporters these days

Oh yeah Biden, way to show the repubes on your way out 😎

Edit: i knew this would get downvotes, idgaf though. I even voted for Harris. I’m tired of the Democrats just ceding ground to Republicans over everything and never once showing any fucking backbone

It’s not News, it’s Sames. It’s easy to confuse the 2 because they usually contain similar content–esp when dealing with Herr Trump

Well you know–they gotta investigate first. They have to get their stories straight, make sure everybody knows the script, determine a decent scapegoat to heap all the blame onto… then on game day they have to work together to ensure the fewest deal with any repercussions and then distance themselves from those people. Most of them will be fine, heck they might not even manage to make anyone accountable with proper fuckery. We’ll see! (years from now, long after the damage is done)

You’d think Trump was already in office though. I’ve been seeing headlines detailing Trump’s and musk’s political maneuver’s ever since he won the election. They’re already calling shots for the gop, setting things up for the day they are in complete control. Biden doing fuck-all at this point really doesn’t help matters either. I would hope he’d at least make things difficult for Trump’s transition but i don’t think that’s happening.

Oooooh Google, Tesla, or Amazon!!

How fucking surprising

He said yes!!! 😭😭😭

What does that mean

Where does that work well? A demolition derby?

When i hear stats like this, it makes money seem a lot less valuable
