@jayeless Two quick thoughts: 1) We need to separate inherit human worth from market value. Some of the people I’ve worked with are bed-bound and demented. This in no way diminishes their human worth, or the moral obligation to treat them as persons with inherent dignity, even if they need help with every body function. 2) Domestic labor is unquestionably valuable; it is simply not valued by mass culture. When our only measure of value is money, we are, in fact, spiritual indigents.
