Your governments stole your lives and forced you to destroy your biosphere via 3-4 billion #bullshitjobs. Or to die of poverty.

The work-for-income paradigm has been obsolete for ~20 years. You should only be working for like 5 hours a week, doing meaningful things. Unfortunately, your governments forced you to destroy your planet via 3-4 billion nonsensical #bullshitjobs instead.

David Graeber: 'To save the world, we're going to have to stop working'

Writing as part of Jarvis Cocker's Big Issue takeover before his untimely death earlier this month, David Graeber explains his confusion about why we’d destroy the planet if we don’t have to

Global warming is being caused by billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense. Wasting most of our energy and fossil fuels.

@clemensfuest.bsky.social will end up with multiple life sentences.

Es ist "Sparsamkeit", welche Menschen in Armut zwingt und in Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs. Wo sie dann den grössten Teil unserer Ressourcen und Energie verschwenden. Im Kampf um Geld.

Wir brauchen keine Sparsamkeit. Wir brauchen ein Grundeinkommen und ein Ende sinnloser Jobs.

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 11h

Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs verschwenden mehr Ressourcen, Energie und fossile Brennstoffe denn je. Bedingen Klimakollaps, Pandemien und Inflation.

Wirtschaftlich sinnlose Arbeit macht uns ärmer und lässt den Planeten überhitzen.

@clemensfuest.bsky.social ist kein Vordenker.

Es ist nicht die Aufgabe einer Regierung, den "fiktive Schulden, Armut und sinnlose Jobs"-Wahnsinn der @ecb.europa.eu zu forcieren.

Uns fehlt nicht Geld. Uns fehlen die Ressourcen und die Energie, welche durch Milliarden #bullshitjobs verschwendet werden.

Herr Fuest ist reif für lebenslange Haft.

"Economist" @clemensfuest.bsky.social has been actively selling us "debt, poverty and billions of #bullshitjobs"-economics for decades.

Just to inform us that his #bullshitjobs "economy" is collapsing.

But law enforcement still refuses to prosecute idiots like him.

The #bullshitjobs "economy" is wasting most of our energy. Renewable and non-renewable alike. We continue to ignore the issue and build even more wind and solar farms. So capitalism can waste even more energy.

While pretending that we are making progress.

Record global renewable energy growth remains short of climate target, report says

A record amount of renewable energy capacity was added globally last year, but that still left countries short of targets towards meeting a U.N. climate goal to triple capacity by 2030, a report by global renewable groups showed on Tuesday.

"Economists" have been enforcing "debt, poverty and billions of #bullshitjobs"-economics for decades. Completely destroying our society and planet.

But we simply continue to listen to the very same "economists". Assuring us that the answer is even more poverty and silly jobs.

We are getting poorer and poorer. On a completely overheating planet.

Because millions of "economists" are too stupid to understand that we do not get wealthier by maintaining an "economy" that is >90% silly money redistribution games.

An army of suicidal charlatans in suits.

I asked @martinaigini.bsky.social of @earthorg.bsky.social to address #bullshitjobs as the root cause of global warming a dozen times.

She ignored everything, blocked this account and continues to write about symptoms and to warn us of "widespread death".

Insanity.

Dear @insm.de,

Billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Impoverishing and baking the world.

We are not getting poorer because we are working too little. But because we are working too much (and mostly nonsense).

It's funny when anarcho-capitalists talk about #bullshitjobs.

#bullshitjobs only exist because we continue to force people into poverty and to "earn" money. Allowing capital to employ billions of people to engage in financial nonsense.

Anarcho-capitalism implies #bullshitjobs.

An "economy" of nonsense is wasting most of our civilization's wealth.

The problem has become so severe, scientists are warning of the imminent, irrecoverable collapse of our biosphere.

But we just continue to listen to idiots. Demanding even more nonsense. That's how we roll.

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 1d

We simply don't need marketing, insurances, finance, fintech, tax accounting, consulting nor 25-fold redundant mobile carriers.

It's all just ideological nonsense that's wasting our lives, resources, energy and future.

Be rational. Protect your children.

Some people waste their lives building skyscrapers full of nonsense. So other people can waste their lives inside those skyscrapers. Producing glossy brochures, coding fintech APIs, selling insurances and marketing tuna and lip gloss to people down the road.

"Economy."

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 1d

The relevant part of our "economy" could easily support 20 billion people.

But we rather take all the wealth, resources and energy and build districts and data centers full of financial nonsense. So people can fight over money in "clever" ways.

An evolutionary dead-end.

GDP goes up as the #bullshitjobs "economy" wastes more resources, energy, fossil fuels and computational power than ever.

We are getting poorer and Earth is overheating as a consequence. But "economists" still call it "economic growth" and get awards.

Nach den ersten "Klimakollaps, Pandemien und Inflation durch Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs bedingt!"-Schlagzeilen, bleibt dann denkbar wenig Raum für Lacher.

Da grinst dann sicher niemand mehr, der jemals für's AMS tätig war. Aber das versteht Ihr nach wie vor nicht.

Das BIP steigt durch die Ressourcen- und Energieverschwendung sinnloser Arbeit. Ihr nennt das "Wachstum" und landet in Haft.

The more we work, the poorer we get.

The poorer we get, the more work governments demand.

Until we acknowledge the difference between wealth-creating, relevant work and wealth-destroying #bullshitjobs.
