Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.


At least they’re getting paid. Air traffic controllers are working similar hours and not getting paid every time they have issues with government shutdowns.
As another user here put it, “at least” is not an argument; both situations are bad and should be rectified…
