Someone has their CLAWS out.  They may have shut down whywork.org forums back in 2008 or so, but we must have been ahead of our times.

Forgive me if this is redundant, but the line about 90% of "jobs" being unnecessary is great.  Bertrand Russell went as far as to suggest that there is really no need for fancy hotels and restaurants.   The Leisure Class begs to differ.   FTW.

As it turns out, restaurant and hotel workers led the way in spring resignations.  The elites and their dull-witted businessmen are calling this The Great Resignation.

"You Can KEEP Your SH*TTY JOB!!"



“We’re not depressed; we’re on strike. For those who refuse to manage themselves, “depression” is not a state but a passage, a bowing out, a sidestep towards a political disaffiliation.”

Could it be that many school teachers actually assigned Daniel Quinn novels for their students to read?  Are we supposed to pretend we haven't read about refusing to work for the pharaohs, walking away from the quarry, and preparing for a world Beyond Civilization?
