    Sweeping the floor is not equal to doing a heart transplant, stop getting lost in platitudes and get a grip.

      Your ability to completely de-humanize janitorial work says so much about you. Heart transplants cannot happen unless someone sweeps the floor.

      Every job is important. Every job matters. Someone working at McDonald’s matters to that surgeon who shows up at 2am after a 16 hour day and needs food.

        cool strawman bro. Saying sweeping up dust is less important than saving a life is not saying “and you’re a worm if you ever sweep a floor”. I’ve had to sweep the floor at almost every job I’ve had, it was never as important as someone’s life.

          it was never as important as someone’s life.

          It could never have happened without someone cleaning the operating room.

          Serious question. Are you intentionally being dense? Or just come by it accindently?

            “ah but what if I change the example you used to a different example”

            ok man have fun playing with your strawmen. Sweeping the floor of a warehouse is still not equally as important as life saving medical work.

          I love how people tell on themselves by projecting their own prejudices and then get mad at the person they did it at, as though they had anything to do with the process

            I have a prejudice that I believe every job is important and every job is worth doing? And every job is required for other jobs to succeed?

            When the fuck did I find myself back on reddit?
