If capitalism works so well, why is it so hard to find a paying job doing labor that is actively beneficial to society, or at least not actively propagating harm?

@dynamic Why aren’t the most difficult, unpleasant or important jobs paid the highest wages?

@andrewfeeney @dynamic Per a PhD student I had the pleasure of sub-supervising years ago, under socialism in Bulgaria, the more dangerous jobs provided for earlier retirement with full pension. That's not to say that life was all strawberries and cream in that era, but the system did make that specific accommodation.

@dynamic

Why is this the fault of capitalism? Capitalism can't work in an unregulated environment, or you'll end up with rat shit in the peanut butter and melamine in the milk.

What you want is regulated capitalism, where commerce abides by rules and regulations.

@dynamic @Binder because that’s not what Capitalism is for. It’s functioning exactly as designed. The suffering is a feature, not a bug.
