Manual labor isn’t romantic but it’s *actually* essential in a way that mine is not. I wish we spent less time on soft-focus paeans and more on making these irreplaceable jobs as safe and physically undemanding as possible + remunerated in proportion to how screwed we’d be without that work.

For a few months during the pandemic we appreciated in person customer service workers.

I've long felt that the age at which we receive the state pension shouldn't be decided by people who work in offices. Also, I think we'd have a clearer sense of what to value if we saw the effect of billionaires leaving the UK & compared that with the effect of no-one emptying our bins for a year.

If the job is awful, dangerous, boring, and a machine can do it? A machine *should* do it. If a machine can’t, then the humans who keep society going instead should be paid enough to allow them to retire well before the work ruins their bodies.
