Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.

    Or on the hope that enough people see that these jobs need to be done and try to find solutions other than sending humans to do them. We’re humans, we have technology.

      Outsourcing the labor to tech is the closest to reasonable answer that I’ve seen so far. Still not really a full solution though.
