For three decades I worked in the county hospital as a registered nurse making 10-20% less than nurses in private hospitals, and in the county hospital our patient load was higher and they were sicker.
And now I'm retired on my lavish government pension of $1,859/month. Of course thanks to Joe Biden and the Democratic congress members my Social Security is no longer cut by more than half because I have a public pension.
