The regular economy? Are you suggesting people do these tasks for free, or that we should eliminate service roles from our society?

Not eliminate, but we should compensate service workers fairly to the point that they have basic health coverage and aren’t one paycheck away from being homeless.

They are compensated fairly based on market rates. If we artificially raise their pay above what the market will bear then no one will purchase their services and they'll have no job at all.
