Not a phase, I’d argue that 90% of modern jobs are bullshit to keep cattle occupied and economy rolling.

You know, that would almost be fine if everyone could afford a home and food and some pleasures.

Your claim and the claims that all white collar jobs are going to disappear in 12-18 months cannot both be true. I guess we will see.

Jobs you don’t notice or understand often look pointless. HR on the surface seems unimportant, but you’d notice if the company stopped having health insurance or sending your taxes to the IRS etc etc.

In the end when jobs are done right they seem to disappear. We notice crappy software or a poorly done HVAC system not clean carpets.

Cattle? You actually think that about other people?
