When people are like “nobody would want to sweep the floors!!!1!1!1!1” all I can think of is this dude on YouTube that just goes around clearing drains and culverts cause he likes it.
There’s a particular flavor of person for everything and even if it’s not something you love to do, it’s something people would be willing to do if it’s not something you have to do 40 hours a week or your family starves.
The gamble is if there’s enough of these people in the right places to keep society running.
I’m not as confident as a lot of people seem to be that there are/would be. And that’s ignoring the aspects of training, physical ability, etc and just considering interest/desire.
so effectively what we want is a society that brutalises and marginalises a certain community to ensure there is a stream of desperate people to take “those” jobs?
Are you kidding? That’s literally one of the most famous volunteer task. There’s more than half a million volunteer water rescue personnel in Germany alone. Granted, they’re not only life guarding, but that’s a big part of what they do. Not at pools (those are usually run for profit, so they can and should pay personnel for that) but at lakes and the sea.

The way things are sucks, so maybe we should roll the dice then.

No
Still I can’t see how someone would volunteer working as a swimming pool life guard, though
Just heard someone who exactly wants to do that.
