Bullshit Jobs - A Quick Review
I just finished reading David Graeber's book, Bullshit Jobs. It was very good. It was educational, eye opening, and scary and made me mad and upset. Graeber has a lot of good input and thoughts, so if you get a chance and haven't yet, the book's worth reading.

Over 50% of jobs these days are pointless, meaningless bullshit, according to Graeber. These jobs are harmful because our work ethic associates them with self-worth and other positive values, but they do not give the actual workers who hold them those feelings for themselves.

Our leaders have failed to crash Russian economy and have coached them into building back better their entire supply chain, military industrial complex, technology industry, and driven Russia and China together to create a multipolar world that will cause much hardship and poverty in America.
