   I think this rather illustrates that capitalism has conditioned people to value their work so little that they will do it for nothing,

     We drove past the train station volunteers litter picking #today and it occured to me that capitalism has conditioned people to think that anything is only worth doing for monetary rewards. This is totally warped.

     The volunteers work at the station is very much more worthy to society than earning a tiny percent of money for wages, going to a rich company, which will probably be spent by giving it back to a different rich company.
