This reads too much like a generalization of the standard complaints about management and their stupid meetings, the basic thesis of that web comic that was neither funny nor true, Dilbert.
The criminal justice system may be overwhelmed, but its reaction certainly isn't to just let criminals "exit like a revolving door". The US is still incarcerating people at 10x the rate of other wealthy countries.
Nurses being overworked is simply due to there not being enough nurses. It matters little if there's too much bureaucracy somewhere, or if too much money is spent on pharmaceuticals (about twice as expensive as anywhere else) or if doctors make too much money or if the US has a uniquely unhealthy population.
- johnnyanmac 4y ago>Nurses being overworked is simply due to there not being enough nurses. yes but this begs the obvious question of "why?", which either leads to the immediate thoughts of 1. not enough people want to be nurses 2. companies don't want to hire more nurses I'm assuming #1 is false, so #2 is the go-to conclusion, at least on the high level. I'm sure I'm missing some more nuanced #3/4/5 explanations, but it does seem to ultimately come down to money that isn't being spent (be it maliciously or simply due to not having the budget).
- hnick 4y agoThe obvious #3 is "nurses are doing too much non-nurse stuff" which relates to both #1 (job is annoying and not what I want to do) and #2 in a way (they are not hiring non-nurses and/or investing in equipment, tools, etc).
