    &gt; If the workers had been expected to do this for normal wages, this wouldn&#x27;t have happened.<p>I know some people really believe that people are only motivated by monetary incentives, but this isn&#x27;t the reality of mankind. People do make sacrifice without monetary compensation all the time. (And many, many, did during covid)<p>Unlike what microeconomics-obsessed people think, workers don&#x27;t make sophistivated economic calculations, instead they mostly care about being treated <i>fairly</i>.<p>And I glad people aren&#x27;t like how microeconomics model them, because the world simply wouldn&#x27;t work otherwise.

    There&#x27;s a story of the US war machine making a bunker buster bomb back during the first Gulf war doing something similar...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ausairpower.net&#x2F;GBU-28.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ausairpower.net&#x2F;GBU-28.html</a>

    lol in the end they fucked it up later in the chain. I had a shit ton of N95 masks because I’d bought a bunch during deal years ago for fire season and Amazon only had bulk. Donated all but three. The masks are fine for “reuse” but the stupid fucks at the hospital I donated to “followed protocol” and dumped them every 8 hours or whatever. You can count on medical professionals to be retarded. I’m not giving them shit next time. I’m keeping that crap. Fuck them and their dumb ass shit.<p>My dad’s a surgeon and he knows exactly this kind of medical professional. One had a full breakdown and went through HAART because he thought he might have injured himself operating on a HIV+ patient. Constantly panicking. Not built for the trauma ward. Go do something else. Oh no the protocol. Dispose of the masks.<p>Those stupid fucks aren’t getting anything from me.
