Why don’t you go be a nurse if it’s such a cushy job? |

“A labor socialist country”? Labor unions and the right to strike for better working conditions have been part of the United States for more than a century. Who is “we”? |

You are such a corporate shill! Ewwww. Stick up for those rich CEOs and billionaires who do not care one bit about you. You are just a widget to them. Remember when workers got a gold watch for being loyal employees? Nowadays you get a slice of pizza, why they make bank. They’ve turned our country into a dog eat dog society. |

Woah. You think whether ans how many letters follow your name should dictate salary? GMAFB. I managed plenty of those who were not worth the tuition they paid. They may have been book smart but couldn’t work in the real world. There is a lot of jobs that say you need a degree(s) that really don’t. You should tell your plumber how you feel about how much they make. LOLOL. |

Oh yes, nurses who sit on the phone half their shift buying shit on Amazon and scrolling TikTok should be getting paid $275k. Lololololool. |

Not sure if this was meant as a joke, but you aren’t wrong. |

Only those who are ambitious and more highly educated and trained make those higher salaries. The strikers want higher salaries for lower levels of credentialing, basing their argument on the profitability of their employers, not on the actual market value they bring to their roles. If they want to share in their employer's profits, they need to become stockholders, not extortionists. They also surely would not be demanding their wages be reduced in years when their employers profits decline, demonstrating further that this has nothing to do with the value of their labor, which would be the same at an unprofitable hospital as it is where they happen to be fortunate enought to be employed. |

| We all know that nurses don't make anywhere close to what doctor's make, don;t be ridiculous. If you are surprised at whata nurse makes in NYC, I am sure you'd faint to see a doctor's salary. I'd rather watch nurses and teachers make more money than the Bill Ackmans of the world. Why do you all want the billionaires to get richer and richer while the middle class becomes poor? |

Actually, docs In NYC dont make that much because they have tons of docs who'd want to move there and work. The big bucks for medicine are working in more remote areas. |

Right. YOU, would be surprised at how little doctors make in NYC. Sure, there are some high paid plastics or ultra specialty ones getting paid a lot. But the average general surgeon or internal medicine doctor would make probably double what they would make in NYC in the Midwest. |
