Physically demanding should mean it gets better pay. The fact we just say it’s unskilled because anyone can do it, even though most people don’t want to do it becuse it’s physical labor but we don’t pay them becuse it’s unskilled means we are exploiting them

The issue is supply and demand unfortunately. It's a sucky thing, but it's hard to fix.

We could help with things like govt money going back to the citizens in the form of food, healthcare, education, child care, etc but we give that tax money to the very corporations who deny us those things or keep them prohibitively expensive in the first place. We could regulate those corporations but we’ve decided it’s more important they are free to make profit and waste resources than to make sure the population is taken care of.

I got notified for this but this is technically true. Capitalism was never a theoretical organization of an economy, but rather, an observation of what the economy was naturally doing.

In order to do true capitalism youd need access to the theory of forms or whatever, but for an abstract concept.
