I can’t help but think that giving people jobs that are entirely pointless is to the detriment of everyone (and not even just those involved).
You might as well pay those people to stand on the sidewalk and endlessly recite poetry, and then at least they’re getting good at something.
- now__what 4y agoImpractical as it may be, the imaginary world where people are paid a living wage to stand on the sidewalk reciting poetry sounds lovely. Imagine being able to sit on a public bench with your neighbors any given day and listen to someone's creative writing! And if this also implies that more people are paid for other artistic endeavors... sign me up :)
