most inventions, even things like electricity or the lightbulb, had multiple people who reached similar ideas, in different parts of the world, unrelated to one another.

so thats why i say we

people will do anything you want them to if you convence them they want to

why would anyone want to coal mine?

or mine in general

make it socially benefitial

why would anyone want to keep doing dangerous jobs out of necessity?

its socially beneficial to have an entire class of people intestinally become part of the welfare state after a while because of the damage done to their body>?

Well, why do they?

That's a good question.

it would help is we stopped the glorification of the manchild thats been slowly creeping into society the last few decades with body positivity and shit like that

There are industries that are currently better-paying and short-staffed.

the only reason people would still do dangerous jobs is if they find enjoyment in it

why WOULDN'T they become a truck driver earning 100,000 a year?

you literally have to think non-economiclly to solve this issue

because it sucks

thats why they don;t want to do it

So, they'd rather mine coal.

just like all these other industries it takes a massive toll on the body, and basically requires you to be a machine

it punishes you for being human

theres one reason people might want to do labor rather than have everything provided for them. manchildren dont fuck

why don't Americans want to farm?

im farming

I've got several jobs. One of which is scheduled, consistent, and pays the least.

even when you crack down on illegal workers

americans generally dont wanna farm because farming is looked down on

I actually hang around with that job because I feel a sense of purpose with it

I'm a member of a team there.

same thing with sewer work

is it? i don't see farming as looked down upon so much as it being hard work

janitors

this isn't japan

ever been to newyork?

I've developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the warehouse I work in

los ang

yes, i grew up in jersey

Someone can mention an SKU and I can find it in 20 seconds.

maybe i'm bias as it is the garden state

or was until all the farms moved away

miss those corn fields

they are nice to look at over stupid subdivisions
