      Which doctor can provide free chemo if I have cancer? Which doctor can provide a free MRI if I have a stroke? Do they keep those things in their home?

      You don’t mind children dying, and apparently you don’t mind very sick people dying either.

      So how many people do you feel is an acceptable number to die for your cause?

        So for how much longer would you consider it acceptable for the current system to cause more suffering and death before drastic actions for change are acceptable?

        It seems you care more about those who would be hypothetically be harmed than those who are being harmed right now.

        I don’t think that those who advocate for mutual aid networks and a general strike are either ignorant or uncaring of the harm that it could cause. I think they believe that the harm caused would be less than the harm already being inflicted by the current system. That said, I think it’s a big ask for people to put themselves and their families at great risk, even if it’s for a good purpose.

          Allowing people to die of cancer and other illnesses that require a hospital causes suffering and death. Why does that not matter to you?

          Are you really under the impression that mutual age can compound chemotherapy drugs or construct an MRI machine? Or even an X-ray machine?

          You two don’t give a shit about kids and don’t give a shit about people who are sick. I mean you think cancer patients would only “hypothetically” suffer and die if there were no one to give them chemo. Which is literally not how anything works.

          I asked them and they didn’t answer, so how about you tell me: what is the maximum number of dead innocent sick people and children would you would accept here? I bet you won’t answer either

          Ah yes, just walk in and take the MRI machine. They are notoriously portable.

          I suppose they can just take the entire OR back to their sterile environment they keep at home too.

          Also, chemotherapy drugs are compound medications, meaning they must be correctly mixed on a per-patient basis, which you can only determine by running a bunch of tests that can only be done in a hospital.

          And either you’re extremely ignorant or you know all of this and don’t give a shit if sick people die as long as people are striking. And I think it’s pretty clear it’s the latter.
