> Would you prefer those jobs just didn’t exist?

They don't exist in my country and people don't seem sadder for it.

Some simple jobs exist so mentally challenged people can find pride and purpose in their lives because they are doing useful work, rather than sitting around being pitied.

Again, says who?

Do the mentally challenged universally care about pride in their work and purpose? Isn’t a pointless job still pitiful?

Some people are excluded from being paid the minimum wage and in some cases are exploited. That’s likely not in many or most cases, but my point is that I doubt the jobs were created with the mentally challenged in mind.

What jobs don’t exist? Low wage jobs? Jobs that you can’t support a family with?

I call BS.
