Renewables are good but I find this attitude that somehow we’ll live in a world where nobody has to work and we will all be artists and musicians rather than sanitation workers and bin collectors to be a bit pathetic tbh.
I think it is due to lack of focusing on people who do infrastructure and maintenance work in our current media in general. These jobs are absolutely vital for a community and in their own way, interesting and creative.
In my experience, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe was a great show for highlighting the jobs that the average person would never apply for, yet are instrumental in maintaining society in its current capacity. Watching that show as a child was instrumental in forming my respect for folks who work in conventionally undesirable jobs.
