Reply to comment by awaythrowbosk in Mount Sinai investigating newborn’s death during NYC nurses' strike by CasinoMagic

I can wholeheartedly say that I would not hold striking nurses accountable if my own child died because they were literally striking to create SAFER conditions for children. They were striking BECAUSE it was dangerous to put few staff in charge of many patients. I am on the side of nurses precisely because I know they care about their patients and the hospital does not.

If it came down to it, would you volunteer to have your child die a martyr and as a symbol for fair wages/better working conditions for nurses? If it was your child’s life on the line would you also be accepting of the unintended consequence all for the betterment of future kids/lives of those who will care for future patients?

Nobody is volunteering their child for martyrdom. I am capable of understanding that certain things happen for the overall betterment of people. One group is fighting to make it better and one is fighting against it. Striking is a necessary action to fight for better conditions for workers and better outcomes for patients. I stand with the people who want it to be better.

You are a terminally philosophy-brained freak that proposes false choices and inaccurate dichotomies.
