Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.

When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish

But saying that they are just as important as a surgeon just simply isn’t true.

Yeah, but I never said that. I said “janitors are just as important as nurses and software engineers” because “all labor has value”

To be clear, I do agree that not all jobs are strictly equal in value. But lets shift our perspective a little: is the life of a CEO worth more than the janitor? I don’t think so. And yet the janitor often trades more of his life for far less pay. I think the time the janitor is sacrificing is just as precious to him as the CEO’s time is to the CEO.

The main point I would argue is that anyone sacrificing the best hours of the best years of their life deserves a living wage and basic respect / dignity.

Define status. All work has value. A janitor is just as important as a nurse or software developer.

Same. Every angle that Cons attack Walz from only ends up making me like him more.
