It makes you feel rich (and stupid) just like the elite
Does this really belong in this community? Is this REALLY mildlyinfuriating?

I get the spirit, but it's the first time I hear doctor labeled as working class. World has changed...
Capitalism is like one giant game of monopoly. At first we all start off and we are all pretty much equal. Then a few players start getting lucky, within a few generations there is a clear divide. Not as much of stark contrast as today but its there. At this point you can still have a job that pays well while not being in the 1%. Eventually, the unlucky players run out of money and start being eliminated. That's when the luckiest players starts sucking up money from those who actually have it. The 1% will become the 0.5%, then the 0.25%. We will one day have just the 1.
Everyone is a worker except for hereditary lords.

Not much up to date with UK politics but striking Doctors sounds a bit irresponsible. I totaly get the need for fair compensation and they should totally get that, no question, but is it a good idea to strike in the health industry? There have to be better options, no? Or maybe I‘m just uninformed but this sounds like it’s puting peoples health at risk, which feels wrong to me.

If junior doctors are paid so badly wouldn't a better response to this be to quit and do something else or move to a different country? You help yourself and eventually the NHS has to realise that only paying a gazillion bureaucrats whilst having too few and too badly paid doctors isn't going to work out. To be fair this is already happening, many doctors have left and we have 22 month waiting times... Time is approaching where NHS, the huge bureaucratic behemoth, is dismantled and replaced with something better.
"If junior doctors are paid so badly wouldn't a better response to this be to quit and do something else or move to a different country?"
They are, and they have been...? The NHS has been hemorrhaging staff since well before the pandemic, from nurses, senior nursing staff, registrars, junior doctors and consultants... I know at least 5 people myself from various hospital/GP health care trades that have upped sticks and moved to Canada, Australia or New Zealand... because of exactly these problems. They get payed better and have a higher quality of life in the commonwealth than back here...
