You get the systems you build. If you underpay people, don’t respect them, and don’t provide them with authority (teachers specifically from your example), they will check out or leave professions entirely. People have options. See: shortages of everyone you mentioned. They owe us nothing, we owe them if we want the system to work. > I believe Duty and Obligation are in deep decline in the west. This sounds like collective entitlement. You don’t sacrifice when you’re not valued. That’s just exploitation. |

I didnt build this. Neither did you.
But here is a certainty, if you individually play out this line of thinking in the aggregate, it sums up to "i dont care if it is not to my benefit" as a society.
This line of thinking is THE problem. This decadence is new and its accelerating.
Duty is doing the right thing regardless of how hard it is or whether it benefits oneself. Thats a basic show of respect.
How much you would propose to pay doctors on top of what they are already paid since they are 'underpaid'.
?
How much do you think the founding fathers were paid ? What amount you think it made them feel "valued" so much so that they were ok to potentially, lose their houses, farms, and get their family killed for their work
?
