That’s closer to a sky rat, my guy.

helenslunch ,

No one enjoys it. That’s why it’s not called “going to fun”.

helenslunch ,

Quite the opposite. Work that’s “fun and interesting” tends to pay less because there’s a surplus of demand and limited supply (artists, cooks, etc).

helenslunch ,

I understand and agree but memes like this and the whole “anti-work movement” are doing irreparable damage to any progress you could hope to make in “work reform”.

helenslunch ,

I just explained my particular grievance in the comment you replied to.

helenslunch ,

Of course it does. No one enjoys cleaning sewer drains.

This isn’t a college class. I’m not writing a senior thesis. I have given an explanation and an argument, you just don’t like it.

helenslunch ,

You guys are an absolute riot 😂

helenslunch ,

Who is trolling who here? You’re the one pretending you can’t understand my simple explanations.

helenslunch ,

If they could automate it, they would have done so already.

helenslunch ,

Huh?

helenslunch ,

Buddy if you “we” could do that “we” never would have been employees in the first place.

If you think automation is not profitable then you vastly underestimate the costs of running a business and hiring human employees.

helenslunch ,

Workers already are the ones who design and build machines

Engineers design machines, not sewer cleaners.

You are attacking a straw man.

I don’t know what you meant by this if not to imply that it’s not profitable:

Business owners are bound by the profit motive, not by a motive to improve the experience of workers.

helenslunch ,

Yes but sewer cleaners do not have the capacity to create automations…that’s why they clean sewers. That’s what we were discussing.

helenslunch ,

No, we are discussing why people choose to work cleaning sewers. Then someone suggested we could automate the jobs. Then I suggested if we could, we would have already (because profits). Then you suggested that only sewer workers could automate those kind of jobs because it wasn’t profitable for companies to do so.
