The Reform SocietyWeCanShareTheUnpleasantJobs

People who are willing to spend a little time doing unpleasant work, such as cleaning up after incontinent people, can share this responsibility. In today's society, many people spend large chunks of their working life doing unpleasant work 10 hours a day. If we share the unpleasant work, no one person will have to spend much time on it.

We can easily choose to make it disadvantageous to avoid doing your share, in which case human-nature will favour helping with the crap-shoveling over slacking.

For example, Sam's card has "crap - happy to shovel my share of it" written on it.

But,

Some people can't do their share of a job. For example, infants can't shovel the crap they produce.

Infants, the ill, the disabled and the elderly will not be expected to shovel crap, we will care for them just as we do now, or better. We are certainly not opposed to social welfare!

I say LifeIsTooShort? to waste it shoveling crap, ergo I refuse to do my share of that work. What are you going to do about it?

''If you are an able-bodied person who refuses to contribute to shovelling crap, I may of course choose to refuse my services to you. If many people agree with me, your life will rapidly become unpleasant (although your BasicRights? to food, shelter and love will not be forgotten).''

''It may be that some people are judged to be so valuable in a specialised role that they are not asked to shovel any crap, for example doctors in a time of plague.''
