It's heartbreaking, the solutions proposed by the city & county seem very reasonable. Yet here we are, with Covid, flu, and RSV cases surging just ahead of another holiday season with mass family indoor gatherings and a healthcare system that's collapsing.

I particularly liked the one point from the memo:

>Start at the top when savings need to be made, such as eliminating pay raises for high-level leadership in order to shift the focus toward competitive wages and benefits for nurses.

We are seeing this play out right now in the job market. Execs and CEOs get to demand that they won't work unless the pay, perks, and bonuses are high enough for their tastes.

Yet those same execs and CEO's seem confused when the labor side demands higher wages or they won't work unless the pay, perks, and benefits are high enough to survive on.

Sorry capitalists, you can't fuckin' have it both ways.
