I have rode Marta for years and for years they have been absolutely dissatisfying. For years, they have refused to change. We have been to meetings yet we have can. We’re not getting any results. We have expressed our concerns or at least I know personally me and my associates have. The fact that you guys do not address and do not care about the disabled community deeply and I mean deeply concerns me. Marta has left individuals for hours on in. I can count. I have had complaints of hours of four hours three hours in locations. Also, I have hurricane complaints that people were left in locations that they weren’t able to get home and sit in it unsafe. Personally they have a dissatisfying attitude whenever we call and try to get help The drivers for the most part are lazy. They do not want to get out when they have door-to-door assistance they refuse to push wheelchairs. They refuse to come to the door and assist the Blind. I don’t know how this can be helped but I really would appreciate it if you guys start taking concerns and taking us seriously we are People People with disabilities that may need just a tank of help the fact that they care not for seniors and they’re not able to do anything concerns me, the lack of respect their morals are completely dissatisfying. But I could go on all day about Marta but because this is a short Expression of how I feel. If you really would take addition to to make changes, I would greatly appreciate it and thank you.
I want inclusive neighborhood that welcomes all in terms of owners and customers. East Atlanta has been a gentrified neighborhood that is attracted middle-class black people as well as other people of other ethnicities. We want to be welcoming to everybody, diversity is one of the things that makes this neighborhood as great as it is. Please don't mess with the chemistry that is East Atlanta
Studies have already shown that by incorporating nap times for overnight workers it will improve their decision making and care for patients. I think it’s also safe to say it could have prevented this tragedy as well. The healthcare system needs to starts protecting their nurses and normalizing sleep breaks if they want to prevent this in the future. Cases like this make people second guess wanting to become a nurse, let alone a night shift nurse (which there is always a shortage of already.) If you want better staffing you need to support ,and take better care of, the ones you already have.
I am an RN working in the Metro Atlanta area for over 30 years. I was shocked at the sentence that is allowed for this incident. She is paying for this every day of her life no matter what. Please excuse this accident taking into consideration all the facts around it. She as all nurses need respect for all they do. I have discovered that when someone needs a nurse, nurses are priceless. When someone does not need a nurse at the time, they are disregarded.
It all begins with the working conditions of our healthcare workers. Why do hospitals here start most new grads out on night shift? I’ve been a nurse 20+yrs and experienced hallucinations from sleep deprivation when I was on nights. 12 hour night shifts need mandatory rest periods!
Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
