You're honestly saying that people profiting from others' labor aren't excelling at the expense of others?
There is no such thing as infinite growth. The wealth of first world nations absolutely came at the expense of the resources and labor of less advantaged nations.

This idea could work if we also subsidized housing for the folks doing the service.

Semitic when referring to languages includes Arabic, so not sure what your point is
I was very curious about this but everything I've found says that graffiti is proto- Arabic, not Hebrew
