Who pays nurses more just because they are good? In a lot of professions rates are set by governments or institutions and there is not enough competition between businesses for wages.

A lot of people don’t understand how time poor middle and lower class Americans are. Lower class jobs rob people off of their time by forcing long commutes and inefficient child care arrangements. People end up eating junk because they are
