WTF was all that about?

Succinct and pertinent. Well done.

Does this guy know his job is a bullshit job?

This is why they need to bring back medieval punishment.

I don't want free prisioners.

I think the third, fourth and fifth categories are not bullshit jobs, they're necessary to keep capitalism running

I'm a nursing assistant and even my job is largely a waste. I literally spend half or more of my shift waiting for something to happen and it's not medical emergencies. It's things like bringing water or changing someone's diaper. The hospital could just hire 1 extra RN on every unit instead of having 4 CNAs and it would make CNAs unnecessary and would ease the burden of actual medical duties on the other nurses

Now the state comes for you now you cry. As your political enemies were rounded up often at your behest you applauded. It’s all on little lord Fontleroy’s Jemma’s and Tarquins.

How to get owned in your own comments section.

This is so true. I have a manual labor background (but also a degree I just like to be active and use my hands and truly create/fix things) but I had the worst experiences in office settings. Outright discrimination (although you can’t call it that due to our PC culture) but I found it so irritating I took the pay and benefit cut and went back to manual labor. Many petty, frivolous, and pathetic people walking among us.

Love this!

Bureacrats

Great video. I was a process control engineer (retired 2/10/23) I would always stress test my projects just to make sure it would work under all conditions. But I am super excited about how I got retired earning more income, pay my bills after my Retirement. Earning $45k weekly, has been life changing after so much struggles.

As a maintenance worker, he really inflated my ego at the end haha

dox the aj

Free political prisoners?! How much did they cost beforehand?

"Western Capitalism: Churning out bullshit jobs at lighting speeds since the 1870s"

What a bunch of snowflakes

Lots of books behind him. Yet he knows close to nothing

He could change his name to Roland Freisler

Trump is not a classic corporatist or any other label other than spoiled narcissistic brat. THe has no ideology or vision outside of his childish immediate gratification. That's how he ran his companies. He certainly has no interst in workers or society. Sorry to see David pass.

Work as a nurse…yep much box ticking to be done….drives me nuts but CQC expects this nowadays

If you enjoy your job, you aren't working hard enough.

and there is of course type 6 - the arrogant arseholes who think passing judgement on others in generally sanctimonious "I'm so much better than you" up themselves sort of way and do all this on KZbin to make themselves feel important. We all know a type 6, it would seem the world is bloody full of them unfortunately 😖

Wow what an insightful list of crap you made up 🙄

stop talking nonsense and start to work buddy

I'm a landscaper. I guess I'm one of the resented? Is that real work?

Truth tellers. 😂🤣😆😆🤣😂

00:24 Demand. Ooooooooooo.

How does the world move from fossil fuels and by when can this be done? What technology is required? Hydro / Solar Panels / Wind Turbines / Something Else? How many and where? 2050 energy consumption will be 50% more than 2020. How to offset for no wind or too much wind or no sun? Batteries or pumped hydro? Capacity? / How many? / Where? / By what year? Global Energy Consumption - 2023 14.5% Renewables 1% Other 1% Biofuels 2.5% Solar 3.5% Wind 6.5% Hydro 4% Nuclear 23% Natural Gas 26.5% Coal 32% Oil

01:43 “Genocide’ is now Word of the Decade. It’s interesting how so many people using it, yourself included, don’t know what it means. Myself? I’m using the UN definition, same as the ICJ. That’s right, the ICJ who can’t find any. Yourself?

I'm an education reporter in North Texas. You could argue that there is administrative bloat in public schools. But there are two chief realities feeding that: the administrative track offers a living wage, and legislative mandates that increasingly complicate public education. In Texas, a lot of mandates from the state aren't funded by the state. People shrug at the intentional hostility ginned up against teachers, but it ultimately hurts students because teachers are jumping ship.

Criminals are free to commit crimes in open air. Non violent peaceful people are being jailed because they dare to challenge Powerful criminals.

"Is Donald Trump an anarchist?" BRUH. WHAT EVEN IS MEDIA OR POLITICAL LITERACY? WHO GIVES A FUCK!

Good way to avoid that is not gushing your paint on stuff that you don't own, just a hunch. Odd acting on the soft ladder descent, but dramatic maybe.

#6 Academics who push their opinions as scientific fact; even though they live apart from the real world. The separation from the real world instills a sense of superiority in these types of people where none should exist. Their "scientific" studies generally begin with an end result in mind and only data that "proves" the desired results is kept. Any other data collected is discarded as irrelevant. Such is the world of "pseudo".....oops, I mean "social science".

I pour coffee

I was a career flunkie. I worked for government. Most of my days were spent doing absolutely nothing. My position was unnecessary and I was unnecessary. But I received a decent salary with health care, I had a nice office with a window, and everyday for 30 years I would come into the building and see it filled with other people just like me -- flunkies doing nothing but collecting a paycheck. I think that my job existed because my supervisors, who were also flunkies, totally didn't care about the cost of keeping me on the payroll --- it was taxpayers' money, so, really, no one cared. The legislators pretended to care because it makes the deplorables stirred up and happy, but in truth, they didn't care since they, too, were just mindlessly cashing paychecks, too.

LMAO! Graeber's career is exclusively in BS jobs.

Seems like this guy gets paid to sit around and pontificate. Which category is his BS job?

A large part of Business is busyness - in other words, appear to be busy when management checks in.

DEI, ergonomic office safety, and Environmental/Green jobs are the best box ticker jobs. It is something that pays well and you only have to present every 3 months or so, and when you do it is basic stuff like Racism is bad, how to set up your chair, and climate change is bad. Then you get in your Mercedes and drive home.

I agree with him.... however college professors are the most bullshit jobs of all.

fuck the world

Miss ya, David! RIP

My job is actually important. I'm a doctor.

"You need to be working harder than you want to be at something you don't like very much or else you're a bad person." This hits hard. My personal morality regarding "working hard" is the only reason I work hard. As a 66/33 Box Ticker/Task Master I know deep down that my job isn't necessary and I'm not rewarded for performing better. In fact, in all of the analysis that I do regarding efficiency I know deep down that no one will execute on any of my work because inertia is too powerful.

Such loving people, they recently setup camp across the road from where my parents live. Left the place covered in rubbish and lots of the surroundings broken or outright desroyed. Such a loving people that the entire town of Chichester has created large natural bollards to stop them parking anywhere and everywhere to setup camp 😂

stop saying go zero waste and start demanding the non-polluting and non-plastic versions and local versions of every product in every major supermarket.
