I don’t care what they’re doing in Europe if they’re going on strike they shouldn’t be Dr’s or nurses. You cannot leave pts high and dry. Sorry but there are just some professions where you can’t do that, Firemen would be another example.
Now off shift, of course do what you can do, and I have. Quoting a tv character isn’t helping your rant sound any more intelligent.
My rant? I thought it was a reasoned, thoughtful opinion delivered in the FR spirit of awareness of and resistance to government overreach. No profanity, no exclamation points, no shouting.
The reason I mentioned the NHS doctors was to address YOUR point that striking was impossible. This real-life, real-time example proves that it clearly is not. Your other example is also null and void, since there have been firemen’s strikes. ‘You can’t’ is a very different thing to ‘it has never happened and never will.’
Now what is more ‘intelligent’ - an acknowledgement of current events, their causes and their implications or a reliance on categoricals that have already been contradicted by history?
This contravention of your rhetoric seems to have angered you. I’m not sure why.
The Kirk quote was to provide a mutual pop culture touchstone a touch of levity to an otherwise depressing, serious topic in the spirit of FRiendship as we so often do here. You, apparently, aren’t having any of it and, like so many online, are irrationally directing anger and spite at a person you’ve never met rather than the issues and circumstances.
