Today Scott Adams said society owes healthcare workers a debt….
I don’t get how society owes health care workers a debt that they don’t owe every other sector of the workforce. You chose a field, you knew the dangers, you wanted the prestige, the money, the challenge, you got it. I don’t owe you shit.

Doing a difficult job is not heroic.
