    So…what if they decide their duties are brain surgery?

    Like the nonsense a peer post to yours is spewing. From a person who’s handle is “communist”.

    They could have reasonable points, but if your philosophy suggests that brain surgeons can get told what to do by janitors, that’s a problem. I wouldn’t call that “totalitarian”. I would call that sane.

    Now, what do we do about brain surgeons and the cost of healthcare (which is and will always be phenomenal, no matter who is paying and how it is being paid for)?

      Are you being outrageous and arguing in bad faith on purpose?

      I genuinely can’t tell, in the event that you’re not, nobody has ever suggested that janitors should be allowed to do the duties of brain surgeons. Furthermore, even if a single absolutely insane janitor decided he should be allowed to do the duties of a brain surgeon… nobody else would agree with them, because we live in a society with vaguely reasonable humans… and that janitor would likely be democratically FIRED for suggesting something so outrageous, or put in a mental institution.

      Or are you worried about the janitor uprising in which janitors decide they can do all jobs known to man? Perhaps nothing can stop the janitor uprising, and we are all doomed.

        At the very least, they’d keep the streets clean! I, for one, welcome our janitorial overlords.

      Do you know any janitor that are willing to take the risk of killing someone and face the consequences of that? If so, I would recommend to keep your distance of that person.

      What kind of idiot workplace would allow that? Perhaps if you don’t assume the people you talk to are literally brain-dead, you might understand what they’re saying.

      what if they decide their duties are brain surgery?

      In your world the only thing keeping janitors from doing brain surgery is the current corporate structure?

      Like the nonsense a peer post to yours is spewing

      Which parts are nonsense

      but if your philosophy suggests that brain surgeons can get told what to do by janitors,

      It can’t.

      Now, what do we do about brain surgeons and the cost of healthcare

      The government pays for it like in most wealthy nations

        The first part reminds me of religious people who can’t fathom ethics existing outside of religion.

        “If there’s no hell what’s to stop people from doing bad things?”
