It's been Such a slap in face to others doing there part not by choice to keep the world going forced to go into work .
Example Supermarket employees I feel bad for. They have to go work .People still need food. They put there life on the line ,thousand of people walking around /near them daily at work.. Alot of these people carrying covid and don't know it or do.. Because the avg pay is low for a supermarket employee compared to a nurse, cop . there not recognized .Not considered essential by these retailers or media. There only considered essential by there local state with paperwork to show if pulled over after shelter hours in effect .
However, you state that it is impolite to down vote the deals, and therefore the 342 plus up votes become meaningless. They are votes for responders, not for deals.
Make the deals subject to the same criteria as the other deals. A deal should not be upvoted because of who it is for, it should be upvoted because it is a good deal.
MILITARY, MEDICAL, AND FIRST RESPONDERS DISCOUNT
ENJOY 50% OFF

Teachers, nurses, and many other professionals take on hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans and will NEVER make anything close to that...
And as we keep the residents from killing patients daily in the hospital nor will we... It's not always about the money, bc if it was I sure as hell wouldn't have become a Respiratory Therapist who BTW happen to be one of the lowest paid professions in most hospital systems and also don't qualify for most of the discounts.
My own facility rewards us so well that a brand new RN gets an extra week of vacation and about 10k a year more than a RRT... They're considered professionals and I am a 'technical' employee, whatever that means, I think it means that I am qualified to plug in something, and maybe I don't actually do patient care. I knew I've been doing something wrong all this time...
My apologies to all parties involved!
This infographic will lay it all out for you, if you care to educate yourself. https://i.imgur.com/Xi0BuU5.jpg
Funny you mention how you "keep residents from killing people daily". Although that is an exaggeration, there is a reason a resident is still in training. Why this is held against them, I have no idea. I suppose when you started as an RT you never made mistakes and had all the information you needed to make proper decisions though. I have no patience for that attitude, whether you are applying it to a resident, new nurse, or new scrub tech. Everyone has to learn, and you're lucky if you can give them knowledge to help people in the future. We're all on the same team.

I have many good friends that are doctors, and even a few teachers they don't and can't remotely live the same lifestyle, your cited graphic despite how visually appealing reduces actual earnings for a MD to a perceived net vs gross then has the nerve to add a teachers pension into the salary calculation... It is extremely deceptive. There are MD's that also receive pensions but like every other profession few and far between... Then pretends teachers only work 40 hours a week, maybe you need to make some friends outside of your social circle, but I imagine that you are one of those, so enjoy your version of life... So let's not compare apples to oranges as your cited graphic does; bc with the perceived real estate losses of our fearless leader he makes less than both professions but somehow ends up being a millionaire. Grow up, find someone else to throw rocks at. True figure using your very unrealistic salary for a MD off 200 a year yields 7.3 mil. My best friend who was a turd like myself a few years ago but has just completed his fellowship as a ER MD was given multiple offers in 300's, our surgeons and anesthesia are in the 400's with bonuses. So let's cite the 300 as GP's obviously make less and it is very close to the actual mean x 36 = 11 mil. Vs teachers 2 mil - your right almost the same!
Anyone can make a chart prove their point - Thank you for what you do, but don't for a minute act like it's essentially the same bc clearly the graphic was designed by someone to prove their point.
About 30 years ago when they were taking my company's pensions away, they calmed the masses down with these beautiful charts showing us at 9% compounded interest and a 5% contribution rate at the average 40k(at the time) we'd all be millionaires by now with our new 401k/403b - yeah that didn't happen either...
