gollark: I don't think you can reasonably expect people to do useful possibly boring/hard work, in exactly the jobs you want, just to be nice/altruistic.
gollark: You wouldn't want people to be rewarded in some way for work?
gollark: "Fordist"?
gollark: And what if everyone wants to do a job which isn't that useful?
gollark: Again, how are you going to quantify that in every job ever without there being some financial incentive for it to make a little sense?
