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.

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.

Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs verschwenden den grössten Teil unserer Ressourcen und Energie. Bedingen Klimakollaps, Pandemien und Inflation.

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

C'est la vie.

GDP rises as the #bullshitjobs "economy" wastes more resources, energy and fossil fuels than ever. To fight over money.

GDP rises as addressing the resulting environmental catastrophes consumes more resources and energy than ever.

"Economists" call it "economic growth".

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.

The #bullshitjobs "economy" is wasting more wealth and energy than ever. Impoverishing and baking the world like never before.

Be rational. Protect your children.

Dear @seanjcoughlan.bsky.social,

Billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense are wasting our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing global warming and inflation.

We are still not even talking about root causes.

Dear @anarchistfederation.net,

It's much worse. Billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs are wasting lives, resources, energy, fossil fuels and computational power. Causing global warming, pandemics and inflation.

Nonsense employment is killing us.

Economic nonsense, like insurances, is driving global warming. By wasting more energy than ever.

We can not insure ourselves against global warming. Caused by economic nonsense, like insurances.

But "experts" long to force people to do just that.

We can not continue to maintain a monetary system that forces billions of people into poverty and to fight over money. Doing so destroyed our entire planet within just decades.

But governments demand even more poverty and competition over money.

To deal with climate change we need a new financial system

Abolishing debt-based currency isn’t a new idea, but it could hold the secret to ending our economies’ environmentally damaging addiction to growth

Our children will be unable to obtain food.

Because we listened to a bunch of idiots. Assuring us that we'd get wealthier by coming up with various markets. Where people compete over numbers in "clever" ways.

We are beyond insane.

We need to take the output of our actual economy and to distribute it.

Instead of wasting it all to build districts, skyscrapers and data centers full of financial nonsense. Employing billions of people to fight over money.

We need economic efficiency instead of money games.

More jobs do not make us wealthier. But poorer. As most jobs are wealth-negative #bullshitjobs.

More tax revenue (mostly from #bullshitjobs) does not make us wealthier. But poorer.

A higher GDP (rising as #bullshitjobs waste wealth) does not make us wealthier. But poorer.

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 2d

We urgently need to end poverty, the work-for-income paradigm and to ditch billions of #bullshitjobs.

The German government does the opposite. It forces people into even more poverty and into even more silly jobs.

We are being governed by lunatics.

Most of our traffic only exists because of the #bullshitjobs "economy". Billions commuting to silly jobs and all the transportation required to maintain the corresponding infrastructure.

Most of our traffic is unnecessary. But we refuse to acknowledge it.

Mark.

Central banks are forcing the whole world into debt, poverty and to fight over money in a million clever ways.

The global fight over money, its billions of #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense, is causing global warming.

Central banks are forcing us to overheat Earth.

"Central banks, debt, poverty and fighting over money via billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs"-economics is impoverishing and baking the whole world.

You should be pondering your legal outlook, Christine.

Time is running out.

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 4d

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

As we continue to allow central banks to force countries and billions of people into debt and poverty, and to waste most of our wealth by fighting over money.

Behind the scenes, law enforcement is longing to get rid of the ECB.

The first "Global warming, pandemics and inflation caused by billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs!"-headlines will be a milestone for humanity.

Governments will have to admit that we have been wasting most of our civilization's fossil fuels by maintaining an "economy" of nonsense.

But we rather get everyone killed and talk about the "fossil fuel paradox". And run low on food after COP34.

If COP30 can shift the climate conversation from promises to implementation, Belém could mark a genuine course correction in global energy politics.
