That reflects only your view. Let this become the norm and no one judges. The view that manual labor is somehow degrading is the result of our Decades of ever increasing entitlements.
This is no different than the Civilian Conservation Corp of FDR era.

There ya go, let's get the unemployed together and force them to build stuff like roads, dams, bridges...wait don't we have people doing these jobs already? What exactly happens to them? I didn't notice the construction companies placing ads for a million workers...

Yep I'd love to be on a construction site with bunch of nimrods that don't know what they are doing and that don't want to be there... No possibility of accidents there....
