What makes you think plumbers aren't helping society? Same goes for all trades...like damn.
"Society" doesn't pay plumbers... Like, you don't get your plumbing fixed and bill Medicaid you know? Individuals pay for their own plumbing, and plumbers get to set their own prices... The jobs I listed are most often paid by society as a whole, and society as a whole are screwing these professions over... Don't get me wrong, most workers are getting screwed, it's just different.
Society does pay plumbers, the fuck are you talking about. Where do you think the money comes from? If someone needs to hire a plumber, then they pay the plumber directly instead of their taxes doing it. It sounds like you're salty that the government pays you vs making more being in the private sector.
Fucking entitled white collar douchebags. I guarantee plumbers help society more than fucking social workers.
Sure hope you never need to find out
