Bullshit Jobs
...abound.
There’s plenty of work, yet still too few jobs paying anything more than the cost of doing them. Look around. See all the busy work, the minimum wage positions, the service jobs with hard ceilings and nowhere to go but skid row. Most blame the workers, not the economic system creating these bullshit jobs that hold so little purpose, and insufficient remuneration to support even the individual doing all the work. It’s truly a disgrace to our so-called enlightenment; we cannot see our busy work is destroying this planet, while also creating disparities threatening our very existence. How have we forgotten that to be human is to be of this Earth, and not simply on it? Before work was an empty obligation, before work defined us, there was a simpler doing that could be cruel and mean and only about survival. But it led us to this day when we may now consider endless new possibilities for the ways we want to work and live.
