My wife's hospital is paying $10k sign on bonuses to nurses for a two year commitment and $2500 referral bonus to any current employees who refer someone they hire. They are paying an additional $500 bonus each shift the nurses work outside of their regular schedule.

My wife entertained the notion of quitting and just taking some travel assignments but decided to stay for insurance, stability, logistics, and I have three kids under the age of 5. Once they get a little older she may make the change.

If you ever want to know why you feel tired, I have the answer.

If/ when the truck drivers refuse to comply or just give the two middle fingers, look out. Things are gonna get ugly quick.

Colleague's husband bought a semi last year to go owner operator. Apparently some regulations were relaxed last year allowing paper logs instead of GPS apps - let's just say it has helped his bottom line.

I see why wild Bill isn't super active on IE lol. The second to last sentence speaks volumes. God be with you, King.

Bare shelves, soaring energy prices, and labor shortages are actually a good thing.

And in a related story, the Nazis said, "Arbeit macht frei!" Both are ridiculously dishonest bits of intentional bullshit.

I'm so glad the adults are back in the WH and the bad orange man can't Tweet anymore. What an impressive 9 months!

The family conflict of interest from Panorama was more intriguing to me. He has an unethical conflict of interest.
Meanwhile, Biden's numbers are still in the tank and Kamala has to hire child actors to create some kind of positive scene.

Joe was a little desperate with his "I have the right to kill you" comment when discussing those that don't want to get vaccinated. He also said police should be required to be vax'd or be fired. Police have a tough enough time and our already short staffed.

Who could have possibly seen this coming? Hunter's paintings draw more than Picasso, but we shouldn't bat an eye at him selling access.... again.

Also- as the border is open and ports backed up, more covid deaths in 2021 than 2020, inflation surges, oil breaking through the ceiling, and China showing off their hypersonic missile- we get this...

Ohh wait, there's more!

This is new territory. unrealized gains. They say it's for the rich, but it will probably be on all of our heads for gains over $600 once these clowns see it doesn't work.

Just a reminder, in 1913 when income tax became a thing it was at 1% tax and only for those who made $3,000 ($80K today).

This will NOT stay for just the "rich", this will be for all middle class. It always has and always will be.

Taxing unrealized gains after those "gains" were made with income that was already taxed is insane.

When WaPo says "This may be an unworkable and unconstitutional mess" you may want to rethink your strategy.

Not sure how to justify taxing unrealized gains.

Breaking my hiatus for this

Taxing unrealized gains is a colossal error, like possibly the biggest one they could make (other than straight up taking people's property away from them). The amount of back office work that would have to go into the IRS compliance team, audit teams, and service desk would be insane. Not to mention the sky high accounting fees that us CPA's could charge is incredible. As well, if there are unrealized gains being taxed then it would only be fair that unrealized losses could be claimed as well. A lot of $1 transactions would start happening. This would break the IRS.

Admittedly I didn't watch Yellens video, but if the subject line is right then it's 110% dumb.

Biden's proposal got whittled down big time. I'm happy the environment money was left in there and also happy they took a carving knife to it. We can't afford to keep spending and spending.

Some of her old subordinates and colleagues have put her on blast. Always a shame when a respected person ruins their credibility. She also claimed Biden's plan will be anti-inflammatory.

I'm not sure who has had a worse week, her or Merrick Garland lol. He got pounded this week too.

There were four versions by three different artists in the Top 8. How does this happen?
