What's your answer then? Robots? "These dirty but necessary jobs should pay better" would be a reasonable take, "let's give free money to everybody" seems a bit less so to me.
- surgical_fire 3y ago> What's your answer then? Robots? My answer is that a system that forces people into miserable jobs for miserable payment is inherently an unfair system. Would you be alright with slavery because no one else would pick cotton or cut sugar cane while being threatened with a whip because "these dirty but necessary jobs should should be better"? > would be a reasonable take, "let's give free money to everybody" seems a bit less so to me. Giving free money to everybody would result in undesirable jobs either having their conditions improved or eliminated entirely. If unclogging sewers is necessary, people would only do it for the proper payment.
