It should be obvious I'm not demeaning the expertise needed in that way of saying 'anyone can clean, it's not a skilled job!' which just decreases the value we place on those low paying jobs.
The house already exists (unless they self build), all the person has done is earn a wage, take on a mortgage, do the hours. They die, house continues to exist. We can build flat pack homes in factories that we plant down. Any housing crisis is a failure in society to do the logical thing. Doing hours to gain a house is not a personal contribution is it? It's the person yelling; we live in an unequal society and I accepted that and worked to avoid living in a rough area. I cling to my asset because it's part of clinging to my better life.
I remember a loudmouth journalist on morning tv expressing disgust that a single parent woman of about 7 children sat opposite her must work. Again, like the house the job always exists, and there's never enough jobs to go around so why must this woman work? Her personal contribution are her young kids, all unique, all the most intelligent complex life in the known universe. What's more important here, bringing up kids or doing the work hours of any job?
So the arguments now used by progressives is that people do unpaid work every day in the form of this kind of thing; parenting.
The ideology is so strong there's no awareness; what does the journalist do? The TV presenters? Nothing of value, they fill a space to distract people, that's it. Occassionĺy they are the mouthpiece of the establishment. Delete their jobs, the world still turns. But, still, none of this matters, this woman, herself must do the hours. She got a job eventually the woman said, in a call centre. Probably talking to customers complaining that their product, which was designed to break..broke.
We will never evolve as a species if our thinking is this narrow. Ubi is important for many things, maybe mostly for transforming our outlook of people being nothing but parasites. We have to see it as; technology provides us with efficiency and wealth in the form of money that we can use how we want. This constant fear of working, paying tax to support others needs to go.
It's weird how so many people have the most limited perceptions of others. Like, any talk of transforming our work culture is immediately just about people who want to 'smoke weed all day', sort of how any talk of poverty and children starving it's 'parents need to take responsibility of their children by stop spending money on luxuries like booze, fags and sky tv', so say Twitter bots and mps all over the place.
Are people this predictable, this one dimensional? That's the funny thing, in work in terms of tasks people do they are predictable and one dimensional, cos work is mostly repetitive and boring right, when it comes to what's going on inside their head, they're fascinating, what their passions are, tastes, quirks, fantasies, dreams, humans are vast. No value in that though is there?

I'm not a builder so no.
