The Alternative Is…

The alternative is NO workers in nursing homes, providing healthcare or otherwise. Some of that is the industry (home care v. employees of a facility). Some of that is the nature of the industry, some is because some people are part-time, and need the hours. Again: what's the alternative? This is the system we have "succeeded" with. We have danced to the tune; now we pay the piper. That alternative is they die at home rather than after 3 weeks in ICU. I guess. The alternative is: remember that you, too, live in a glass house. The science that created the Industrial Revolution and led us in a straight line to today's climate catastrophes has not, in all that time, come up with solutions to what the industrial revolution unleashed, but: sure, whatever.  The alternative is:  do nothing, because coal? Or Green New Deal, and actually try to do something?
