As a union nurse (1199) I can assure you all that the travelers making lots of money is NOT the problem, and is only happening rn because for the first time in decades, it is an area where workers are so desperately needed, yet so scarce, that they can basically name their rate and have it honored. This is scaring the shit out of the people at the top, and they want to nip it in the bud before other peasants start to catch on

    Oh absolutely, hopefully that's just them getting their feet wet. Also what is a Suez canal moment, not sure what this references. The US did have a Suez canal moment in Panama a long time ago lol

      It's a reference to Britain losing control of the Suez Canal post WWII when Egypt tried nationalizing it then the US came in and took it and did not give it back, it's more or less a seminal event that signals a previous empire is no longer ascendant
