as far as i can tell cities don’t spring up on their own. Building may seem to rise up out of nowhere and streets torn up and rebuilt. But all these things are driven by human power and effort. machines don’t yet drive themselves. People are the ones who make these changes. people drive and repair buses and trains. People mix and pack the soaps we wash with, cut and pick the vegetables we eat and makes the components of the machines we operate. People are central to the growth of our cities and to our economy. This may all seem really obvious but the thing is, people get put into categories and some are given more value than others.
but all people are indespensible really. from the people who pick up the garbage to those that operate to those that make the instruments of the people that operate etc. Yea some jobs have more skills than others but they are just as crucial to how we currently operate in society. Yet we take some jobs for granted and pay less than a living wage. i agrue that this keeps people down because we don’t allow them to develop their potentials. we attach hierachies to jobs. So if you’re a doctor you are looked upon with more prestiege and some sort of awe. and yea doctors do a lot and are really important but we rely on each other to get the jobs done, from nurses to the people that bring the supplies to those that fix the heating. With out them our operations would not be as efficient. my point being we can not continue to devalue jobs that we need.
maybe there is some way to re arrange job structures so that we get to rotate jobs and be able to see how we operate as a society. even though there would still be jobs that require more preparation the people who do them are not worth more than any other person. ideally these rotaional jobs would pay well enough and people would have access to as many resources as possible so we can shape ourselves and learn how to work cooperatively.
