The OP references the Misemployment essay which very clearly takes this view. "He is joined in the misemployment ranks by people who make cigarettes, addictive but sterile television shows, badly designed condos, ill-fitting and shoddy clothes, deceptive advertisements, artery-clogging biscuits and highly-sugared drinks (however delicious)." I think our bullshit jobs guy is a bullshit writer, personally. Shoddy condos, you might not like, but they provide housing. Shoddy clothes provide warmth. You might not like it, you might not agree with the incentives behind it, but they can be and are important parts of some people's existence. https://www.theschooloflife.com/thebookoflife/unemployment-down-at-last-misemployment-bad-as-ever/ https://www.theschooloflife.com/thebookoflife/unemployment-d...
