Where are you getting $50/hr? EMTs in the US make taco bell wages. They literally save lives, you can't be more valuable than that, and yet our wonderful corporations love to exploit the shit out of people who care...

The general state of things is so goddamn disgusting.

i made all the numbers up, and chose numbers wildly over what they likely actually are as im not from us so dont know the wages of emts nor the actual cost of hiring someone(in my country the cost of employing a person is about 1.3-1.6 i dont remember exactly times their actual wage) and just to show how much more they could be paid and still have ridiculous profits
