They’ll end up cleaning it themselves once the streets become too clogged with government interference. It'll come down to pure necessity—either they realize they have to do it to survive, or they fall victim to that "help thy neighbor" syndrome. You know the one; it's that same impulse that drives people to shovel snow in front of a helpless neighbor's house or just clear the roads in general because nobody else will.

Yeah, it’s true. It’s a wicked system designed to screw over the little guy. You really think otherwise?

The problem isn't that the system is inherently evil; it’s just incredibly inefficient. And at this level, inefficiency is more than enough to ruin everything. It’s absurd to watch failing corporations lay off workers they no longer need, only to have those very same employees prove the entire model wrong by succeeding on their own terms. Take my neighbor, for example. After years of grinding away at a massive utility company like Duke Energy, he finally got the boot. Instead of sinking, he bought a small plot of land. Now, he spends his days growing flowers with his wife and son, and honestly? He’s making a killing. He works from sunrise to sunset, but he's doing it on his own schedule. Is he some uneducated, failed laborer who couldn't make it? Not a chance. Did the system force him into a dead-end, low-wage job where he was basically cleaning up after everyone else just because he didn't have the patience for academic "nerd stuff"? Sure it did. He never finished much more than a few years of high school because he wasn't built for textbooks, but he has a knack for business and honest, hard work. Now, through plant cultivation, he's outperforming the very people who let him go.
So, how exactly do you plan on pulling that off? You're suggesting we give every single student their own personal tutor? That sounds like a logistical nightmare. Besides, what happens when reality sets in? What if all the boys decide they want to be professional athletes and every girl wants to be a pop star?

No, I can't find it right now. There was this documentary floating around online about a Japanese teacher—if I track it down, I’ll let you know. But seriously, that guy is the living embodiment of what a functional education system should look like. There’s zero rote memorization or mindless drilling in his classroom. Instead, once a student actually masters a topic to the teacher's satisfaction, they step up to teach it to someone else. It creates this continuous chain of mentors within the classroom. Honestly, it's much easier to wrap your head around a concept when a peer explains it to you. Not every kid speaks "teacher language," and sometimes adults just struggle to translate complex ideas into something a student can actually digest. That’s why peer-to-peer learning isn't just a gimmick; it's necessary.

So, I’ve been thinking... if I actually wanted to get into filming adult content with someone like Ian Jurčević, who exactly am I supposed to reach out to for training? Any leads on where to start? 😍

Ian Jurčević.

Blood donors actually get something for their trouble after every donation. People complain about the snow being a nuisance, but I guess that's why they bother clearing it.

How exactly do you plan on getting people to show up en masse for labor actions?

Potholes in the street aren't enough to bother them, apparently. Floating crap in the gutters after every rainstorm won't move them to actually do something about it either. Yeah, right... typical.

Look, someone’s always going to show up to sweep the streets if the cash is right—why on earth would doctors bother doing that? Ever heard of concepts like "specialization" or the "division of labor"?

Failing companies fail. Lol, that's why they lay people off—they don't have the cash to pay them. Simple as that.

Because money should serve as the yardstick for the value of social output, which is ultimately just a measure of the quality of work produced by the individuals making up that society.

@IC
You pay taxes to access those specific services—the goods of civilization—that actually keep you alive within that society. We’re talking healthcare, water, energy; things that ought to be public goods, much like our roads. But let’s not call them exclusively public goods. If I build my own road on my own land, that's my road. If I fund my own medical clinic with my own cash and hire the staff, then that's a private venture, not a government one, and so on.

What would happen if a doctor had to lose his dignity cleaning toilets? It might do some good for certain people—including politicians—to come down from the clouds they live in. I won't even mention the average resident of a big city like Chicago or New York, who can be quite the pampered, lazy type.

The category of an "uneducated manual laborer" doesn't exist. In fact, there is no such thing as a "manual laborer" by definition. Everyone finds fulfillment in creating something for someone else, whether it's a tangible good or a service. Nobody engages in physical labor without a result—like trying to manually bail out the ocean... that's just pure masochism with zero progress.

Right now, all those people you label as "uneducated manual laborers" are actually just unlucky souls who couldn't find a better path because the system completely failed them.

Not everyone is built for school under the current model, which is essentially a mindless, rote-learning grind. People learn through example and practice. There shouldn't be any standardization in education; instead, we need an individual approach. You have to tap into a person's ambition—what they actually *want* to be—and then educate them toward that goal.

The current educational system has chewed up and spat out far too many people. Professors don't actually care about you because their salary isn't tied to your success in life; it's tied to how many hours they clock in. Those who don't earn a diploma often have no other choice, simply because nobody taught them they had one, and their parents—often stuck in a subservient mindset—didn't teach them either.

So, calling someone a "manual laborer" as a vocation is, to me, immoral.
The people that the "distinguished" urbanites and elites look down upon because they are dirty, uneducated, unshaven, or perhaps sweaty from physical toil, are actually the most honest and big-hearted people at their core. They have more heart than the doctors, lawyers, economists, and the rest of the "respectable" class.

It is much easier to do business with someone "lower class"—meaning someone unpretentious and straightforward—because they follow a simple pattern: I help you, you help me. It's nothing like dealing with the elite, who are always looking for ways to exploit someone or squeeze the most out of the least investment. That's your typical high-society type (I'm actually doing business with one right now, and it's certainly not the first or last time).

No, I am not going to force anyone to do anything. Can you actually read?
I asked why people donate blood, yet nobody forces them to do it.
I asked why people volunteer to shovel snow, yet nobody forces them to do it.

Can you answer those questions, or are you just messing with me?

But they don't want to clean up the mess. Seriously. How exactly do you think you're going to solve a problem like that? How are you even supposed to talk them into it?

Blood donors actually get something for their trouble—people complain about snow, so I guess they clean it up for that.

Jack Smith5 said:one free pass.

In my experience, I haven’t met anyone who actually avoids working—at least, I can't recall ever meeting such a person.
I’ve met plenty of people who hate their current jobs because they’re unfulfilling or suffocating, but make no mistake, those people are eager to work. They just want to do honest work and get paid fairly for it.

There is honestly no legitimate reason why society needs to oppress people or force them into roles they despise. We already have the mechanization and infrastructure sitting right there, ready to handle almost all the dirty work.

Now, I can already hear the skeptics asking: "But what about the essential stuff? Like sanitation, road repairs, maintaining infrastructure, unclogging toilets, hauling hazardous waste, and so on?"

The answer is actually quite simple. When things hit the breaking point, people realize they have to step up. It’s the same logic as shoveling snow; when a blizzard hits, a massive crowd of volunteers suddenly appears. It’s the same with blood donations—nobody enjoys being stuck with a needle or feeling weak afterward, yet people do it voluntarily. Why?

Because they see a genuine need. When people realize there’s nobody else to fix the pothole on their street or repair the main road they drive on every single day, they will absolutely step up and do something about it. And let’s be real, everyone has enough spare time to dedicate at least 50 to 100 hours a month to community service without exception. Let's get to work!

Look, if your city’s sewer system backs up or a water main bursts, you aren't going to sit there complaining—you’ll rent or borrow an excavator, some shovels, lights, and tools, and you'll get to work. Period.

So, the system is inherently sustainable because we have plenty of able-bodied people and the necessary machinery to keep everything running smoothly. The issue is that we currently have people being paid specifically to do these tasks, while the rest of us have been conditioned to accept exploitation. By the time a grueling workday is over, most people are too exhausted to do anything except sit in front of the TV and complain.

The reality should be different: you should come home from work feeling rested and energized, because you spent eight hours doing something that actually fulfills you and makes you feel alive.

Sure, the truth is we might have to give up certain luxuries—like having thirty different brands of toilet paper to choose from at the supermarket—but the trade-off would be immeasurably greater.

The freedom to work on your own terms.

Are you kidding me?

You expect people to pull 50-100 hours of "community service" for free *after* they've already put in an eight-hour workday? And you're calling that "freedom of labor"?
