Fall of Porcupine - Free for 1000 Healthcare Workers (US, UK, Canada, Germany, Switzerland & Austria

Just my two cents here but I think the giveaway is just a way for them to “give back” to the people who has inspired the creation of the game.

I used to live in Montana and there was an issue of people fleeing California coming to Montana and buying all the houses for way over asking price driving natives out. These high taxes are really causing so many issues that effect even outside the state. Good luck finding somewhere better

My guess is your image is outdated by like 7 years or something like that. I could be wrong so point it out but this looks more like it and it makes sense. https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-news/hourly-nurse-pay-for-all-50-states-2022.html There's a 2021 version if you want to see the gradual increase as well.

Even the lowest paid RN at $29.11 an hour would still make $55k a year assuming a 40 hour week schedule, no holiday pay, and no bonuses and zero overtime. CNA's are paid less but I was going by your picture.

Now, are front desk employees or cleaners paid as much? Definitely not because they're general purpose jobs that you will find at any other business. To me those are more like hospitality jobs not healthcare specific. Sure, they could take advantage of a deal going on for healthcare workers, but not really on merit, even though I wish I had better wording for this. A doctor can't just switch to a mechanic and make stuff happen with 0 experience. A desk employee or cleaner can, as the jobs aren't as specific.

So if the offer was for cleaners, front desk employees, mcdonalds or walmart workers. I would've been like cool, because those are the kind of people who work for around 3x less the money that nurses make, and it only scales up with doctors as you said as well. Someone who can make it happen with 3x less the income will value it a lot more and can use that a lot more, while someone who makes 3x more income will not need it as much or value it as much since it is not 3x as impactful as it would be on someone making min wage or less, like homeless people.

My point was that it seemed directed at a wrong group who are unlikely to even be searching for this type of deals because they aren't in a position where something around $60 affects them. So in my opinion it felt like attention grabbing posting knowing they probably wouldn't even reach 1000 health care workers.

Chances are the people in lower income in health care, like cleaners or desk attendants, will not even have specific @ work e-mails to use for this purpose, or if they do, they are untrained and they don't even know they exist, because no one contacts them that way. I don't work healthcare so I could be wrong, but chances are they use their gmails for that, and only higher ups use private e-mails. Like no matter how I put it, it makes no sense.

I appreciated them giving something for free. But if I said I'll give $1 to the next 10 jeff bezos and elon musks like billionaires that write me a 4 page essay titled "boo hoo poor people". You'd probably think I'm crazy too or at least that something doesn't add up. Who knows, maybe Mark the android is struggling with his meta decisions and he's gonna reach out to get his dollar when he's ready to submit his essay. Exaggerated but that was kinda my point. It's like transfer of wealth to another well off rather than transferring to someone who values it much more and to whom it means more.

Kinda like those youtube channels like "bought my friend his dream car" and the friend is also a youtuber that makes millions of dollars who has no reason why they don't have their dream car other than the excuse to make another youtube video to generate more income enough to buy 10 dream cars within dream cars within dream cars within dre.....
