That's ignoring that much of that government mandated regulation is worthless in itself, not producing the originally intended results and only leading to useless jobs like the author's.
The data is adjusted so that it fits the regulatory demand, not the other way around. In many cases it's still pointless work that produces no value for society.
- ludicity 4y agoYes, I considered raising this point. My work is sometimes necessary to comply with regulation, but frequently that regulation is inherently pointless. That said, this seems to be a different category of worthless. My regular work can literally not be done. This category of work must be done or you risk terrible consequences, but it probably shouldn't be done.
