What’s Really Causing Inflation & How We Should Deal With ItWhile times have been getting harder for workers, it is clear that capitalists (or “big business”) have been doing very well.

The Big Business Behind Travel NursingAs the first wave of Covid-19 hit the United States, Jen, a 53-year-old nurse struggling to pay her bills, received an intriguing message. “THE TIME HAS COME TO DEPLOY AT INCREDIBLY HIGH RATES,” read the mass text from Krucial Staffing, sent to nurses nationwide in March 2020 and forwarded to Jen by a colleague. Jen (a pseudonym used to protect her from retaliation from employers) could barely believe the wages promised by the Kansas-based healthcare staffing firm.
