  1. Medical workers and auto workers seem like they are probably the top-tier of the working class. I think it's great that they have the resources necessary to take a stand against these greedy/needy millionaires and billionaires who seem to get off on owning everything and controlling everyone. Now what about the cashiers and drivers and mechanics and gas station workers and construction workers and restaurant and retail workers who cannot afford to miss a single paycheck to go on strike? Seems to me the people taking mostly for granted are the ones with no voice. It's great all of these workers already making at least close to six figures have the ability to stop working and cry about not having enough resources to live their lives the way that they see fit. Yeah. What about everybody that's making your life so comfortable while you're out there living it? All of the eu's inconvenience but you look forward to experiencing. Maybe AI and robots will eventually take over all of these jobs and make all of those humans as useless as so many of the rich seem to already believe they are, but itnhasnt happened yet. These medical workers and auto workers may be servants, but there are servants of the servants who are forgotten and trampled upon, particularly in cities and urban areas.

    Beware when they've finally had enough.

  2. Everybody get paid, everybody get laid, everybody is dirty, everybody got aids. Everybody gets played, everybody gets sprayed, everybody do what i say everybody my mades.

    P.

  3. Who would benefit (profit) this year's event (the global economy growth in crises condition, extreme climate changes or natural disaster, restriction and banned exporting raw materials, the war) especially about the war? 👨🏼‍💻. Probably, many parties and many social media and Google site who have profited from the events this year. 🤔🎭🤒😢🙏

  4. Support all striking workers. Medicaid members use up most or half of medical resources while middle class workers have paid others’ and their own bills. Corrupt politicians!

  5. Hospitals where I live are starting to mandate vaccines for the healthcare workers again. Reason enough right there to strike. Jobs come and go, but you only get one body, and medical decisions should not be mandated.

  6. Kaiser offers good benefits,however, be prepare to work understaffed!such a common practice in Kaiser,and so unfair to the workers as well as the patients.

  7. Yes the United States can afford universal healthcare but we will never see it, ever. Why?? Universal healthcare would save the US over $400 billion yearly so if someone is saving that much it also means someone else is losing that much. Remember there's no profit with a health patient.

  8. The USA 🇺🇸 needs to step up and join the rest of the world with Universal Healthcare. “RICHEST Nation in the World” prove it!

  9. Hopefully the CA taxpayers will MedVac any asylum seeker who needs surgery or emergency healthcare to Chicago or NYC who are also providing free healthcare for the newcomers.
