The Rise of Bullshit Jobs

6. Interesting article

But the lovers of capitalism will tell you the efficient marketplace created by capitalism would never create bullshit jobs. So why does capitalism create so many bullshit jobs?

Because it has to coerce or force people to do their dirty work. People forced into something they don't really want to do, don't do it well, don't do it quickly, don't do it honestly. So you got have inspectors, efficiency experts, careful accountants and security guards in order to force people into doing crappy, awful jobs.

And today we glorify theses crappy awful jobs as the capitalist moves them to other countries. But notice the jobs and a little pay move but the market does NOT. Most corporations still want to sell their cheap crap here in the US. China and India really have a very small market for cheap crap at inflated prices.

But the US does not have to go kiss the ass of overpaid CEOs to get these crappy jobs back here. We can find better, more efficient, more fair ways to run our economy without capitalism. We just haven't learned how.......yet.
