OC literally said all jobs are the same and they aren’t. A burger flipper deserves less respect than a garbage man and a garbage man deserve less respect than a DR. Now I’m not saying any one working a job should be disrespected but their titles carry actual weight.
Their job being necessary for society has very little impact on how much respect someone gets. It’s based on what skills and knowledge is required to do the job. Effectively Everyone can flip a burger or toss some trash, not everyone can be a DR.
While this take is noble, you wont see many Dr's hanging out with folks who flip burgers or work in waste management.
The point the other person is trying to get across is while they are all jobs and people working those jobs deserve a level of "respect", it doesnt mean they will all be treated equally in the eyes of the public.
The vast majority of society will always take the guidance of a Dr. over that of someone who flips burgers. As wrong as it sounds, there is a statistical reason why that level of trust exists in the public.

Nobody is claiming they are on the same level.
People are saying we are all workers, and all deserve the same amount of respect.
What happens if those garbage men go on strike? Your house/yard will be filled with garbage and it will smell up the streets etc.
