Totally agree. We genuinely need a return to apprenticeship in ALL trades I think including maybe especially the white collar ones that affect people more deeply or in a bigger level.
Yup why do you need to take a geology class to deal with mentally ill people? Why do you need to take a psychology class to be a geologist? Outside of things like being a surgeon there is no reason why you couldn’t learn most white collar jobs in two years.
100%!!!!
Since I did hospice and other certified care for 22 years I am painfully aware of the sneaky abuses and disrespect shown. The cameras idea is awesome!
Considered the lowest grunge job of all, very depressing work, if people did get paid a lot better it would take away some of the sting of it.
One of the worst things is the products used around and on these residents... would you want your family member's room air saturated with fkg lysol spray constantly used to cover up poor sanitation? Nasty. Keep the eyeballs on every process, folks
So, what's going to happen in those 4 years it takes to educate staff?
There's already a shortage of workers in that field, and that's talking about shitty workers, much less any that are half way decent.
Then there's the lack of facilities as well. Since Boomers are getting to the age where many of them can't care for themselves, and their families aren't interested in taking care of them, there's already a lack of facilities designed to house and care for people that can't/won't do it for themselves.
It's going to take time to build enough of them to house our homeless/mentally unhealthy population.
So realistically, it's going to be years before this ever actually happens. Just in time for the next president to take the credit for it, if it's a success.
Then there's going to be huge blow back from Boomers who can't get into assisted living, or can't afford it. And then the inevitable problem with people taking advantage of all this and just claiming to be homeless and/or mentally ill in order to have a free ride.
One of my standard practices is to pretend that the other side has said/done something when I'm not sure is a good idea. That way it really cuts through all the bullshit to the heart of the matter and puts an end to a lot of hypocritical bullshit. That's what I've done here.
Be honest, if liberals were proposing any of this, you would not be saying what a good idea it is. At all. And you know it.
If I had the time (I don't), I would go through a shit ton of old posts here about the homeless situation in places like San Francisco and find posts where people were shooting down solutions that liberals were proposing, which had a lot in common with President Trump is proposing here. Do you think any of the Anons were being supportive of liberals proposing virtually the same exact thing?
It's OK to not have 100% the same views as the President (Or anyone else, actually). Every single thing he does doesn't have to be the best idea ever. That's where the label of "cult" starts to kick in.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt
It's OK to say, "Yeah, I don't think this is a great idea." and still be supportive of our President.
Staff need to be educated for 4 years and paid better.
If it’s a career and not just a “job” there will be less abuse.
Also, cameras. Allow family to be able to log on at anytime to check on their family members.
The idea of 4 year degrees being a requirement for most jobs needs to go. College is mostly nothing but a debt scam.
Training, not just education. College degrees, most of them, are useless. It's a scam.
Agreed

Agreed, well said.
TY.
Actually have people train for once.

Some very good ideas here!
