@Nickydear33 @calleymeans Absolutely valid comparison. You just don't like it, because you see how foolish it makes you appear.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@Nickydear33 @calleymeans I was in a car wreck last week. I lived. I know lots of people who have been in car accidents and lived. Car wrecks aren't dangerous. And don't give me any BS about seatbelts and airbags. Those cause the injuries!

[JustMe @debh0713]

@kremsnite @in_retrotech @SenatorLujan You're missing the point. The HCWs will be fine. But what about their patients? IHS is already understaffed. They will likely end up hiring contractors, at greater cost. Probably even some of the people that were just laid off- but at higher pay. Gotta love the winning!

[JustMe @debh0713]

@in_retrotech @SenatorLujan They were terminated because they were in their probationary period (first year in the job), as is being done govt wide.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@bird_extinction @SenatorLujan The fact that probationary employees are being cut govt wide doesn't help patients who won't have providers. It shows cuts are being done without looking at what is being cut and making wise choices. You know, actually making govt more efficient. But doing it right takes work.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@GxnTotingTexan @SenatorLujan Yes, they will. But their patients won't have a provider.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@CarolLeona87911 @SenatorLujan You're missing the point. Of course they can find jobs. It's their patients who need care who will suffer.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@Swan_Creek1 @SenatorLujan They were let go because they were in their probationary period (first year on job) and that is whom is being terminated across government. No one is saying they did anything wrong. So you don't even know the facts, you are just spewing misinformation.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@ShawnsBrain @SenatorLujan The problem is not for the HCWs. Like you said they'll find jobs. But who will provide care for their patients? IHS is already badly understaffed. They will end up bringing in contract physicians and nurses who cost more than IHS employed providers.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@MaryAnnTigrett @SenatorLujan Are you speaking for the patients that won't be seen, or will have delays in their care, when you say that the services are no longer needed? The HCWs let go because they were in their first year on the job will be fine- plenty of jobs for HCWs. Their patients will suffer.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@WinterBlues1104 @SenatorLujan They were let go because they were in their probationary period (first year in the job). They weren't evaluated on how well they were doing their jobs. They aren't being replaced.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@TheLittleGuyHC @silvergirl80 @EPotterMD That is not necessarily true. That is a general guidance, but there are other criteria a patient can meet to make the stay qualify as inpatient. Without knowing more details, we cant make that determination. Thus the reason she was trying to get the pre-approval,and left the OR.

@Qoetzylquotal @HeathMayo 3/ such as science, intelligence etc, may not have been qualified for Aviation, which requires specific skills, and medical requirements. Bottom line, we have no idea from this info where she ranked among cadets branching Aviation.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@Qoetzylquotal @HeathMayo 2/ Of the 6000 cadets nit all want, or are even qualified, to branch into Aviation. So this gives us no.informstion as to where she ranked among cadets who wanted to branch Aviation. Other top cadets may have preferred other branches, or, while being top in their fields 2/

@Jakesart101 @sjs856 I'll read the full article, and comment, but major flags raised include no author affiliations, funded by an anti-vax organization, and 2 months from submission to acceptance means there was no time for peer review.

@SheLiveth @yashar No, going on daylight savings year round failed. Standard time didn't fail for all the years before daylight savings was started.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@ChikoritaPS5 @Julie_Butcher @bendoll1 @yashar By March, before DST starts, the sun won't set until after 6, anyway, and during the summer on standard time sunset would be at 7:43. Yes there would be less evening light in the summer, than on DST, but not that drastic.

[JustMe @debh0713]

@ChikoritaPS5 @Julie_Butcher @bendoll1 @yashar In the summer it won't be. And in the winter it is only dark that early for a few weeks. Where I live the sun will set tonight at 4:52. If we were on DST, it would set at 5:52, so there still wouldnt be much light after work. In three weeks sunset will be after 5 again. 1/2

[JustMe @debh0713]

@joe_jo4 @yashar There will be the same amount of sunlight. It's just what time of day you want to see the sun. Do you want more sunlight in the morning, or in the evening? I think standard time gives the best split, but see both sides. I just want to quit switching.
