    I firmly believe we all should take turns doing the shit jobs so that some are spared from having to do it all the time.

    The CEO should spend a few hours a week scrubbing toilets. Citizens should go on say, a two-year tour of duty in their young years to do the stuff depicted in the comic. A benefit is that they’ll treat service workers better later in life.

    And more importantly, we should question how much of this is actually necessary. It seems all most of it does is make a couple people rich beyond morality.

      100%. Same reasoning I have for mandatory civil service (instead of military). Even just a shared memory of how doing it sucked balls could do wonders for social cohesion.
