To address this further:
-We need people to work in less desirable/unskilled jobs.
-We need people to have kids- ask Japan about how their rapidly ageing population is working out for them.
-There are an awful lot of adults in the UK(and I’m sure elsewhere) with what people would consider “proper” jobs, or indeed essential jobs, including but not limited to fire service/teachers/nurses/doctors etc, who are saying levels of pay are rapidly becoming too low to live on.
-Salaries that were viable or indeed good 10 years ago have not risen to match inflation. That’s why, btw, the comic shows office workers.
-But also, not everyone can work in a highly skilled niche field. They still deserve the chance to live a good, comfortable life.
-And again, we need people working in these jobs for society to function.
-No doubt you’ll say “if you don’t like it, leave to find somewhere with better working conditions” (I mean, withdrawing your labour permanently is actually a super leftist thing to do, but whatever) BUT here’s the thing, people are already doing that. People are leaving these jobs, and then staffing levels become low and the job becomes even harder and more stressful for the same money (or less in real terms).
-If we keep following this philosophy, I know in the UK we’ll end up with no teachers, no doctors, no nurses, no vets and so on.... I’m sure in other countries you will end up with no-one working in essential jobs too. So how will you cope then? At some point, your salary won’t stretch to paying everyone privately.
Honestly, I’m not that interested in someone’s idea of morality, these are just facts.
