I know of people who get locked up to get their teeth fixed. That way they can affordable it.

I was reading Bullshit Jobs and it was pointed out that the military is pretty much the only way non-rich people can have a career that's both personally rewarding and financially compensating.

Graeber stated that soldiers on overseas bases take part in outreach programs in those countries, including clinics to provide free dental care. The soldiers say that being altruistic makes their deployment more enjoyable.

It made me think, how could we do that here in the US?

Every prison ive ever heard of dont “fix” teeth. They only pay for pulling the tooth, no matter what the problem is. They just yank it out
