I'm glad that there were 'low tier' jobs present to meet me at my worst - they were an *active improvement* from my state of hunger. When people talk about trying to get rid of low tier jobs, I imagine this as removing options for me when I needed them.

This includes sex work! Lots of people view 'survival sex work' - sex work people do because they'd go hungry otherwise - as coercive or bad. I don't view that as coercive, much as I don't view myself as having been coerced into applying for a job in a literal sea of shit.

How about we stop letting people go hungry just because they don't have a job. Jobs should not be necessary for survival.

Why do you think people should be paid to exist?

i understand the desire to eliminate 'bad jobs' by use of technology so focus could be placed on something else. it's assisting the people whos 'bad job' was eliminated that nobody wants to do.

it's my personal view that there wouldn't be any 'bad jobs' if people didnt have to struggle to survive in the most basic ways. in this age we are capable of providing more to the people of the world, but are too concerned with what is ours as an individual than ours as a whole.

These bad jobs are often the result of it being cheaper to have a human stand in shit than to design and build a machine that does the task. Machines will take over many or most of them over time purely on economics.

Many of the bad jobs are dangerous and poorly paid. When you were standing in shit it's good you didn't get a disease or infection - my guess is that the job didn't come with health care benefits despite the risks.
