DEAR ABBY

Dear Abby: I have been a
nurse for 10 years and love
taking care of my patients.
I have worked at a midsize
hospital for 2 ½ years.
Since I started work-
ing here, we have been as-
signed six or seven patients
at a time, although I was
told when I was hired they
were going to hire enough
nurses to have a 4-to-1
ratio. It not only hasn’t
happened, but the admin-
istration keeps piling on
paperwork for the nurses
to complete.
I have anxiety, and this is
about to cause me to break.
I love my job, and I don’t
want to leave. I just wish
they would be more con-
siderate of their nurses in-
stead of making them feel
like I do right now, which
is wanting to find some-
thing else.
Should I say something
to my charge nurse about
how I’m feeling? I’m afraid
if I do, I’ll be pushed out
of this job. Adding to my
anxiety is that my daughter
now works at the same fa-
cility, and I’m afraid if I say
anything they will punish
her. Please offer me your
advice.
— Anxious R.N. in Alabama
Dear Anxious R.N.: Be-
cause you feel the stress is
becoming too much, I do
think you should address
it with your charge nurse.
It’s the truth. Because the
pandemic has increased
the workload on all med-
ical caregivers, you are far
from alone in feeling over-
whelmed.
When you speak up, do
not couch it in terms of the
fact that your employers
haven’t followed through
on their promises. Do it
strictly in terms of the ef-
fect it is having on you. I
doubt you will be fired, be-
cause experienced nurses
are in such high demand
right now. However, if you
are let go and your daugh-
ter is questioned about it,
all she should say is that
the workload and the stress
became too much for YOU.
Speaking your truth should
be no reflection on her.

A look at President Biden’s executive
actions for national economic relief
BY JOSH BOAK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden
signed a pair of executive orders Friday
aimed at offering a quick dose of relief to
an economy still being hammered by the
coronavirus. Both measures were largely
stopgaps as Congress considers a $1.9 tril-
lion stimulus plan from Biden.
The orders aim to increase food aid,
make it easier to claim government ben-
efits, protect unemployed workers and
point federal workers and contractors to-
ward a $15 minimum wage.
A look at the orders:
Nutrition and government aid
This order aims to increase by 15% the
amount of money going to the families of
children who are missing meals because
of school closures from the pandemic. For
children who can no longer eat in schools,
they receive payments to cover food costs
at home equal to $5.70 per child per school
day. The order asks the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to consider issuing new guid-
ance that would more accurately reflect the
cost of the missing meals and make it easier
to claim benefits.
Similarly, the USDA is asked to con-
sider new guidance that would make all
the lowest-income households eligible for
emergency benefits from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program. The depart-
ment is also asked to update its formula for
how much money a person needs to main-
tain a healthy diet.
The order also requests the U.S. Treasury
Department to establish tools to make it
easier for people to claim direct payments
from past COVID-19 aid packages that
could also be applied to any future stimulus
packages. The administration is creating a
network of benefit delivery teams to ensure
people can get their aid and any other sup-
port more quickly.
The order also asks the Labor Depart-

ment to clarify that workers can refuse
jobs that could jeopardize their health
during the pandemic and still maintain
unemployment benefits.
Federal workers
This order includes an effort to promote
a $15 minimum wage for federal workers
and to preserve civil service protections
against political interference.
The order revokes a trio of executive or-
ders signed by President Donald Trump
that limited the bargaining rights of union-
ized government workers. Trump’s or-
ders made the employee discipline process
stricter, restricted union representatives’ ac-
cess to office space and cut the time for col-
lective bargaining. Biden’s order also elim-
inates “Schedule F,” a Trump action that
stripped some federal policymaking jobs
of their civil service protections such that
agency heads could fire and replace people
in those positions.
The order directs agencies to identify
which federal workers earn less than $15
per hour and craft policies to promote
that wage level as a baseline.
Biden also started the work to issue
an executive order that requires federal
contractors to pay a $15 minimum wage
and provides emergency paid leave to
workers.

Portland brewer tries
crowdfunding
To pay for a new canning line,
Culmination Brewing has turned
to crowdfunding. Owner Tomas
Sluiter wants to raise $250,000,
pledging through a bond sale to
pay back investors their principal
plus 8% interest.
The northeast Portland brewer
is working with SMBX, a San
Francisco-based crowdfunding
banks, but the pandemic
prompted a look at “who we
are as people and who we are
as a business.”
“When we founded Culmi-
nation in 2013 it was part of
our mission statement to be-
come a good steward of the
community and support our
customers and worthy causes
when we could,” he said. “We
want to share our success; we
want our wins to be wins for
the whole craft brewing com-
munity.
“By moving our debt ser-
vice from banks to bonds, we
allow our friends, family and
customers to earn the interest,
