Make a census of the shittiest fucking work on Earth and start automating from there. In 10 years the shittiest job will be feeling ennui smoking a long cigarette under a crescent moon on a little Perisian rooftop

White people think people inherently don't want to do work they deem as beneath them, but in reality more people would want to do this kind of work under socialism since you'll be much more able to support yourself than before.

People don't want to do this shit because the pay sucks ass and we have no social safety net.

I saw a video with commentary saying that in China it's basically social suicide to feel that people who work jobs like farming and other manual labor as beneath one's self.
