But the recycling thing… it’s so tangible seeing what I throw away each week. I really don’t love it. And I love it even less for the people around me who don’t see any other way. I have lots of ideas for that, but they take time and energy, and don’t make cash money. And I’ve more or less set “stabilise my personal finances” as my goal for the year. I don’t know if I have time to do both, much as I love living in the #InformalEconomy of barter and mutual aid and whatnot.

Keynesianism is very efficient at producing #uselessJobs.

People in uselessJobs are a bigger drain on #society than the #unemployed, who often add to the #informalEconomy or #volunteer for a fraction of the income of the person undertaking the uselessJob.

The person performing the uselessJob is often paid very well to enable them to travel vast dististances and engage in activities to help them manage the pain of knowing they don't have a real job.
