No one leaves christmas cards for IT developers who work to make you .0001% more likely to interact with an ad, but people do leave christmas cards for trash collectors and mail carriers because they’re important, valued members of the community.

I remember when I read Dinotopia as a kid, there was a part that introduced the guys who go around the city with wheelbarrows and shovel up the dinosaur shit. They were well respected and treated as heroes. That stuck with me.

Bear in mind a lot of the reason people don’t like those jobs are the bad working conditions and low wages.
Give me decent pay and good, flexible hours and I would be a janitor any day of the week

Plus i assume in a decent communist society, people wouldn’t just take a shit in the middle of the bathroom floor like a psychopath

but it’s really not that bad to clean up as long as you have the right tools (in my experience)

True, but it’s more the senselessness of it that pisses me off

People will still do senseless things in a communist society. They’ll probably do fewer of them, but there will always be some.

We can fix the economy, end war, and bring peace to mankind but we will never plumb the hidden secrets of the shower shitter.

When it comes to cleaning, I think the answer is everyone who physically can. Aren’t there countries where students are expected to keep their school clean? Like that.

In Japan, there is a tradition that the students clean their schools.
At the end of the day, they sweep, vaccuum, and clean the classrooms, bathrooms, and other school spaces.
