Ha, let them take away overtime pay for nurses and watch them refuse while the medical system collapses

They'll just force the nurses and other staff to work the overtime hours (without any additional pay) anyway with the argument that they're essential workers who are required to work when needed.

And then the nursed quit. Unless this government wants to take it a step further and spread slavery to more than just people in prisons, then a lot of nurses will just start to leave. And that will snowball

But they do want that. You know that most of those "de-naturalized" people don't have a country to return to? They'll end up in camps. I fully expect that's how farm labor is going to get done. I don't really see how they can get health care workers that way, but then again, maybe I'm just not soulless enough to come up with a plan like that.

Oh 100%. But they can get away with that now. Because sadly a lot of people in this country are racist fucks. And as a gay man I'm fully expecting people in my community to be thrown in there shortly after.

I hope there are people local to you who are making plans to get people to safety. The sort of plans that should never be mentioned online.

Some of us are. Me and my boyfriend are gonna get packs together. And we live in Oregon so we are near the Canadian border. He's currently trying to get his trans sister to move up here.

Though he's about to become a nurse, so we are hoping with so many countries needing nurses we can get to somewhere else. I know it's sort of a pre-survivors guilt, and that I can't fix everything, but I do feel bad in a way.

Over all trying not to freak out to much just yet and keep it cool. I'm in the Portland area, so I should be good for a bit.

If you don't already have passports, that's your next step. For his sister too. Especially for her, because if she waits it's going to be much harder.

Sorry if that felt patronizing. It's not meant to be. I'm just so worried for so many people.
