  1 person doesn’t want to clean toilets; but 50 other people are okay with it.

    If all 50 people want to clean 1 toilet, 49 people are shit out of luck

      They can just work together and use very small brushes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Perhaps but someone’s going to have to clean that toilet one way or the other.

    The primary issue here is that there is a societal disparity between the toilet cleaner and let’s say a CEO or a doctor or something along those lines. But there shouldn’t be the doctor/ceo and toilet cleaner should get paid the same or there abouts in any case.

    Cleaning a toilet should be just as important as heart surgery or running a multinational business.

    If you have the owner of the business he can only perform so many tasks at once therefore that person must hire other people to perform more tasks.

    Wanting or not wanting has nothing to do with performing jobs.

    If there are jobs that people don’t want to do therefore there must be jobs that people do want to do… What about those people? How do they fit in with your paradigm?

      If someone wanted to do it why pay them? Why even call it a job?

        Because we live in a faith-based monetary system. We need money to eat and sleep inside of a house. Desire and wanting to do jobs have nothing to do with that. It necessitates.

        If we lived in a Star Trek utopian society where money was no longer the driving force of employment, there would still be jobs. There would even still be jobs that people don’t want to do and they would still do them out of a sense of responsibility or even necessity.

        The entirety of your original statement in this post is a non-sequitur.

        I can love what I do as much as I want. But I’m going to become homeless and die if I don’t get paid.

        Lots of businesses use your logic to underpay people, like in the games industry and with Zoo Keepers, but at the end of the day they need something to stop them from dying
