Both my grandmothers worked as domestic servant's in their own countries. One Grandfather a docker, the other landed on a French beach on D-Day.
They never had the good things in life but they did have a work ethic and a fortitude to instill in their offspring an aspiration to improve oneself through education and hard work.
As their grandchild I have post degree qualifications(at a time when only 10% of the population went to university) and their great grandchild has a Doctorate.
Working class and proud of it! I have a cleaner for 2 hours a week and my grandmothers would spin in their graves if I didn't treat them fairly and with respect.
I've had jobs delivering papers, parking cars, serving in fast food joints, packing in two different factories, a barman, working with adults with severe physical handicaps and learning difficulties(feeding them, cleaning them, to being their advocate) and finally teaching.
What qualifies you to pontificate on the 'worthiness' of domestic service? Care to list your resume?
You condecending tone (calling them sevants, for goodness sakes!) betrays someone clueless as to how the real world works.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
