I know some people really believe that people are only motivated by monetary incentives, but this isn't the reality of mankind. People do make sacrifice without monetary compensation all the time. (And many, many, did during covid)
Unlike what microeconomics-obsessed people think, workers don't make sophistivated economic calculations, instead they mostly care about being treated fairly.
And I glad people aren't like how microeconomics model them, because the world simply wouldn't work otherwise.
lol in the end they fucked it up later in the chain. I had a shit ton of N95 masks because I’d bought a bunch during deal years ago for fire season and Amazon only had bulk. Donated all but three. The masks are fine for “reuse” but the stupid fucks at the hospital I donated to “followed protocol” and dumped them every 8 hours or whatever. You can count on medical professionals to be retarded. I’m not giving them shit next time. I’m keeping that crap. Fuck them and their dumb ass shit.
My dad’s a surgeon and he knows exactly this kind of medical professional. One had a full breakdown and went through HAART because he thought he might have injured himself operating on a HIV+ patient. Constantly panicking. Not built for the trauma ward. Go do something else. Oh no the protocol. Dispose of the masks.
Those stupid fucks aren’t getting anything from me.

There's a story of the US war machine making a bunker buster bomb back during the first Gulf war doing something similar...
