  1. wow just wow 1- you gotta have a boat load of late charts 2- you must have really ticked someone off 3- get them charts done and the issue goes away!!
  2. YEAHHHHHH Just picked up a Specialized Como SL - sit upright ebike... front rack, rear rack, lights..... 4.8 miles each way and it is a breeze!!
  3. Maybe the providers treated it just like a job instead of a profession. Move slow. Take breaks. Do the bare minimum (corp USA takes advantage of the giving nature of health care professionals). Maybe this was a showing of what happens when providers act like a simple employ and stop working so hard for free??
  4. HEre goes Boats again, making everything personal...... gets tiring boats, really does.....

From https://www.npr.org/2024/04/23/1246655366/ftc-bans-noncompete-agreements-lina-khan?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=npr&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0FvmmuHFHY8eeZaucEN753yvInM15SoWnEuvptKs0_HP-ZxIeF7PsurWQ_aem_AeJoq7s20Dr4PyYPV8gtf4jROQFW0wTz8d_tRAiGSeXIVyTpEABsNpJrV0WwUMdQJFpaDY2oOgPNUHKPKVh9D3FE U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs APRIL 23, 20243:42 PM ET Andrea Hsu Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan has said noncompete agreements stop workers from switching jobs, even when they could earn more money or have better working conditions. Drew Angerer/Getty Images The Federal Trade Commission narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all noncompetes, employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing businesses or launching ones of their own. The FTC received more than 26,000 public comments in the months leading up to the vote. Chair Lina Khan referenced on Tuesday some of the stories she had heard from workers. "We heard from employees who, because of noncompetes, were stuck in abusive workplaces," she said. "One person noted when an employer merged with an organization whose religious principles conflicted with their own, a noncompete kept the worker locked in place and unable to freely switch to a job that didn't conflict with their religious practices." BUSINESS Noncompete Agreements Are Everywhere, Even Neighborhood Yoga Studios These accounts, she said, "pointed to the basic reality of how robbing people of their economic liberty also robs them of all sorts of other freedoms." The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes. It says the policy change could lead to increased wages totaling nearly $300 billion per year by encouraging people to swap jobs freely. BUSINESS Many workers barely recall signing noncompetes, until they try to change jobs BUSINESS Flight attendants don't earn their hourly pay until aircraft doors close. Here's why The ban, which goes into effect later this year, carves out an exception for existing noncompetes that companies have given their senior executives, on the grounds that these agreements are more likely to have been negotiated. The FTC says employers should not enforce other existing noncompete agreements. The vote was 3 to 2 along party lines. The dissenting commissioners, Melissa Holyoke and Andrew Ferguson, argued that the FTC was overstepping the boundaries of its power. Holyoke predicted the ban would be challenged in court and eventually struck down. BUSINESS These companies tried a 4-day workweek. More than a year in, they still love it The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has vigorously opposed the ban, saying that noncompetes can benefit both companies, by allowing them to better guard trade secrets, and employees, by giving employers greater incentive to invest in workforce training and development.
  6. once again you make an assumption, are wrong, and when I answer your question you have a snarky reply.
  7. Please don’t answer for me in fact I am a disabled vet and yes I get care from the VA
  8. so being in a union in VA is bad? It is the first job where I am not told flat out I must comply or else loose my job. I can see the argument but in health care I think the bigger picture is actually trying to care for the patients instead of pad the bottom line....
  9. I am with you. there is no ability to push back against huge companies as one person. add in the financial incentives to take advantage of PA and the only answer is unions!
  10. find local program volunteer to do lectures and help out in labs
  11. geez have yet to do this 1/4 not sure I am looking forward to it.....
  12. So I in a group of NRCME for DOT exams It has amazed me to no end what some of the questions Chiro's are coming up with. Stuff that is basic pharm or pathophys they are stumped on. Makes me wonder, in my state they are "physicians" Their schooling is about the same length as PA (6-7 semesters) and they do not have a residency... yet they are physicians.... And the fact they are lacking so much in the pathophys and pharma realm is alarming..... BTW I refer to chiro all the time and even go to one myself so I am not against them, just amazed at the fact they are allowed to certify DOT drivers when it is clearly outside their training.
  13. but when we are already getting killed we minus well die with a full belly.......
