I worked as newspaper delivery boy in the days when everyone had the internet and would just throw their advertisments in the bin.

This is sad and waste

[@RohintonKazak]

Nice insight into the world of 'work'.

So I was a Charity mugger. Does that mean I was Number 3? Duct Taper?

@5:37 "Look at these auto workers, they're being payed 25 dollars an hour and they're getting all these benefits and vacations. and it's like, why not? They don't seem to object if some guy sitting in an office doing nothing gets payed much more doing that." I've noticed people with that sentiment usually rationalize it by saying things like, "Yeah but those people had to go to college to get that job and they have student loans to pay back."

The true meaning of the word 'job' is 'social therapy'.

Well. They hire people to do things that either takes too much time to do or they don't want to do themselves. So you pay someone to do it.

[@janosmarothy5409]

So David Graeber has no clue how division of labor works. Sadly this isn't exactly a shocker.
