Make a census of the shittiest fucking work on Earth and start automating from there. In 10 years the shittiest job will be feeling ennui smoking a long cigarette under a crescent moon on a little Perisian rooftop

I would like people to have a premium for doing sucky jobs. I also think the idea that the job is going to suck no matter what is loser-thinking. Give them better tools, replace hard to clean toilet fixtures with easier to clean ones over time, ultimately create bathroom bots over a long period. Get the automation ready for when someone creates the blueprints to the anti-torment nexus.
Agreed 100%. Of course from our perspective within capitalism, the biggest improvements that can be made to almost any job are just like “pay the workers more” and “provide comprehensive medical benefits”, but in a socialist country where the workers have adequate representation/power within the system, all improvements to their lives are on the table including changing the nature of the work itself in ways that would be too expensive or would reduce profits under capitalism.
I think this is a point actually massively underappreciated by people. When you’re not chasing “line go up” and only chasing “make world better”, there is almost infinite room to make jobs work for everyone.
