Patients found abandoned at Castro Valley, Calif nursing home

57. We live in a nation in which every day...

Every fucking day, we tell people that they are in this alone. Then when things like this happen we wonder why.

The people working at this center are all wage slaves, living in poverty, making as close to the minimum wage as their company could possibly get, wiping the asses of affluent seniors for pennies and being treated like shit and scorned by their management and society for doing it.

And I suspect, since the place was ordered closed, that there were serious problems going on at this facility prior to this catastrohic end -- problems that almost certainly left the few-remaining staff on the bottom working in a living hell. If those staff are told that this is their last shift, and to go home, who are they to argue? I doubt there was some mass exodus at the end of some final shift, just a few exhausted souls trickling out expecting someone in authority, someone making more than minimum wage, to handle it. And they left probably wondering if they would even get paid for their final two-weeks work.

If you want to get angry, that's fine, but be fair about it and don't direct it at the minimum wage slave, living on food stamps. If you want workers who act as professionals, you have to pay them and treat them as professionals.
