https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/21/healthcare-nurses-gig-work-ai-apps

In the #BadEconomy where employers would employ slave nurses if they could get away with it.

FTA: "The industry also allows nurses to bid on work shifts, with the lowest pay rate winning the shift.

Not so much for the nurses.

FUCK YOU ATLASSIAN

Big bosses are often #assholes who do not want to be anywhere near their employees, but this is a serious effort at being a reclusive asshole.

A bunch of senator #assholes is trying this stunt again that has been turned out by courts, including SCOTUS. Of course, one of those assholes is Texas' own Sen. Cornyn.

My brethren in the path, that is not just a feeling, it is a fact. And yet you keep voting for the same #assholes who keep enabling under the delusion you're a temporarily inconvenienced millionaire.
