the largest city in the wealthiest nation in human history can’t pay their paramedics enough to keep them from killing themselves.

We're talking about NYC here. Democratic mayor, majority state assembly, governor, senators, and majority house representatives. If this could be fixed by voting for Democrats, it would be fixed by now.

we are undoubtedly the monetarily wealthiest nation in the history of nations but we are also, by our civic actions, the stingiest and meanest. it’s disgraceful.

Meanwhile, people on Wall Street, gambling, are multimillionaires. People saving lives are practically homeless. #priorities

Americans should have had a revolution by now over this, but they're too domesticated. Apparently there is no amount of misery and humiliation they won't take, while muttering "it is what it is".

Since we don't know, from your post, how many EMTs there are, we don't know if 14 suicides is more or less then would be expected it is quite possible that the rate, which is what actually matters, is in fact high, but you don't provide that information

I'm remembering the NYC Paramedic who was supplementing her income on OnlyFans. The "scandal" was her posing in various states of undress, NOT that she couldn't make a living as a paramedic. The fat fuck union boss' response was disgusting!

those poor people. they gave everything and got nothing in return. we need to get louder and not back down when it comes to workers having basic needs covered. please check out the People's Sick Day if you haven't! very ambitious, women-led group trying to take back power for American workers #tpsd

we live in a country where you make more money kidnapping people off the street and ripping kids out of their parents' arms than you do by fighting fires and helping people...

I never knew/realized how traumatized paramedics/EMT’s are until I drank with some. They all deserve a huge raise and more benefits for mental health.

This is a widespread problem. EMS in my area were stretched to the breaking point post COVID. Too many shifts and too little pay.

A clear statement on our value systems here. The ONLY universal value we have here is MONEY. If you have $0, you're WORTH NOTHING. If you do an honest job to help other people, you are worth ALMOST NOTHING. If you are a felon, ajudicated fraudster & rapist you can go from $2.3-$5.1 Billion w/a VOTE!
