No One Actually Wants an Equal Society

[Ben Davis]

Only because of current perceptions based primarily on social class. Why shouldn't sanitation be a skilled job? Do you consider it less valuable than the so-called 'executive' roles?  Your response is unsurprising but it typifies an inequitable vocational paradigm. Would it not be better for people to earn according to their contribution rather than some arbitrary social construct?

How long does it take to train as an office cleaner, what sort of investment would you be looking at for training?
3yrs? 6mths? 1mth? less?
Compare this with managerial training programs.
Management qualifications.
This is basic economics, **** all to do with "social constructs".

Not necessarily, mate. If we were to train sanitation workers the same way we train business managers, the courses would include microbiology, chemistry, relationship management and more. Why don't we? Surely, more knowledge of, for example, bacterial behaviour, genetics and the best methods of elimination & prevention of propagation would help reduce the evolution of 'super bugs'. I put it to you that it's only social convention that has ranked sanitation 'lower' than business management when in base terms, the former is far more important to our survival than the latter. Thinking about it, business management could be a module of a proper education in sanitation as it's entirely likely that an effective cleanliness model would include teamwork.

A holistic understanding of process value identifies the equality of all parts of the process.

Relative scarcedy informs market value.

I would expect that if no one would take the job of a sanitation worker, then the market value of those workers would rise or find another source of labor.

This is true in the current model but as we see from the success of people like the Kardashians, it's not the only measure of market value: the ability to add value is of greater importance. The more that becomes apparent, the more people will realise that the current model is inequitable and that they should demand the recompense due to the value they add.
