WOW that "The Rising" video is killing me!

it was written about 9/11, from the POV of a firefighter. I always thought that only Bruce could write a song about a tragic disaster and make it so life-affirming.

We're in a tragic disaster right now and the death toll is so many multiple 9/11's worth. I started to cry at the footage of the health care workers.

There's only one party that pays any attention to this AT ALL. I don't understand how it's even a choice. Fuck. GOTV.

PAY THEM. No one who is trained and skilled in medical care should be making less than what the federal minimum wage SHOULD BE: $22.50 an hour. That's what McDonalds clerks should be making. Health-care nurses should be making at least twice that.
