The Politics Of Jobs

Posted on 12/10/2024 by Daniel

We are all familiar with the odd fact that people who use their brains more than their bodies tend to get paid more (lawyers over factory workers for example) which instantly should give one to understand using ones brain is seen as more significant than using one’s body. Though the anomaly is that using ones body (being a cleaner, being a road-sweeper, building a house) is the very foundation of society. Bing a lawyer or a politician is only necessary when that society if built.

We think that anyone can do the manual work so using one’s brain is seen as a gift only a few have – but when that few are financially assisted by richer parents the unfairness of thinking of that is obvious. Plenty f people used their bodies for manual work and made enough money for their children to build upon that money (look at Trump) without much in the way of brains and certainly without any wisdom learning. If you don’t want a doctor spending their time cleaning the wards it is time to give the cleaners more status.
