You should be happy with all these bullshit jobs: if we would scale down to only productive essential jobs, most people would be siting at home doing close to nothing.

The assumption that we can have productive jobs for everyone is just unrealistic



I'd phrase it differently:

If we would scale down to only productive essential jobs, most people would be siting at home doing whatever they like.

So no, I am not happy that people do bullshit jobs just for the sake of having a job at all.


With no money from a job, sitting at home will be something people will not like. Doing what you like usually costs money, so you need a job. Any job.

How are you going to pay for a home anyways, without a job?
