Isn't the important thing what should be a part of the terms of employment in a just world?

Healthcare is a great thing but capitalist scum don't care if you die, so that's that

He should be turned over to the police. Too bad it's not illegal.

Luckily my job is really good about injuries especially if they are work related. They don't really treat workers like ****, but we're still paid ****. I know that my supervisors are constantly pulling to give people raises especially the ones who put in the extra effort. It's hard to really hold anything against a smaller business because I don't know if they're just trying to save money or they just don't want to share the money.

Sodexo was the devil, though. They are greedy scam artists that pull the shadiest ****. I know I've said it before, but they would charge $30 for a pitcher of crystal light and call it fruit punch.

Okay, not making judgements of doctors is strawmanning doctors. What's the other part?

~~MicShazam~~ · 12-17-2018, 01:54 PM

Wouldn't "strawmanning doctors" have to involve misrepresenting arguments made by doctors in order to make said arguments easier to defeat?

He set the medical profession up as an opponent, assuming their position might be to not help others in need. This is not how doctors act, but it was a ridiculous position that was easily attacked and knocked down.

When did I do this? I think you just jumped on "public servants" and when I made it clear I wasn't talking about government officials you just jumped to something else cause otherwise you'd have nothing to bitch about. Maybe you're just strung out having to deal with your middle-aged pregnant wife and her beef curtains.
