Nurses in the U.S. sometimes go on strike. Nurses in the U.K. sometimes go on strike. Neither group goes on strike because their employer is a government. People go on strike due to working conditions and pay; not because their employer is a government. I don’t see how your comment has anything to do with the point I made in my comment that you responded to. In 2020 the U.S. median wage was $20,000 per year greater than the UK. What does this have to do with the points I made?

The person you were replying to wasn't saying they're on strike because of government employment. They were saying the government pays badly, illustrated by an ongoing national strike happening right now. I didn't bother addressing this before because I thought I'd salvage what I could from your previous comment, and ignore the non sequitur-ridden majority of it.

  What was the point of rayiner saying that the nurses striking in the UK are public employees? How is that relevant to the point they tried to make? That comment that rayiner made is the non-sequitor since there are lots of examples of non government enterprises that underpay their workers and said workers going on strike. That comment doesn’t pertain to the greater point they attempted to make. They are wrong too in their belief that all those countries have a greater supply of medical workers. Rayiner is wrong regarding Medicare. Rayiner does not know what they are talking about on this issue.

    I assume it's that any job that needs a vast number of employees is going to struggle to pay well. The government employing all nurses is a good example of that. Anyway, you seem to have a personal issue with that comment, and you don't need me for this conversation, so I'll leave you to it.
