Cleaning sewers? Generally anything waste related?
There are some people that actually kinda love those jobs, but idk if there are enough of them. And a game of chicken where the first person to become too annoyed at the smell in the streets fixes the issue would be… not great.
But anyway that’d only ever be an issue if there’s no market at all but that’s not a necessity to not have capitalism
Pretty sure once the waste starts to pile up it’d be valuable enough to society to remove it that lots of people would be willing to do it. There’s people out there right now working full time jobs and still picking up garbage on the side of the road in their free time because they don’t want to look at it.
Yeah but you don’t want to leave waste up to “we’ll do it when the problem gets bad enough.”
It requires maintenance and prevention, and while there might be people who recognize that and want to do the prevention there are almost certainly not enough for how large of a task it is. Especially because some of that prevention involves wading around in the poopy water, no body wants that without incentive.
It’s the same thing for things like road maintenance and electrical and plumbing maintenance. There are people who would do some of the jobs for free, again maybe, I’m just letting that go for the sake of argument. But those tasks are huge and require vast networks of people with a lot of education doing them professionally. Most are only there right now because they get a paycheck.
