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.

End central banks. End the debt-narrative. End poverty.
Directly allocate money for governments and people.
Ditch billions of #bullshitjobs, all the financial nonsense and all the crypto mining.

Be rational. Protect your children.

The stupidity of contemporary politicians, "economists", journalists and law enforcement will dumbfound all future generations.

Millions of people, intellectually incapable of acknowledging that an "economy" of financial nonsense is being allowed to void our wealth and planet.

Dear @lauramillan.bsky.social,

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

Capitalism is killing us.

Global carbon levels rose by record amount in 2024, U.N. agency says

Dear @sammeredith.bsky.social,

Most AI is being utilized to fight over money. To maintain capitalism. Not to contribute in economic/social terms.

Financial nonsense is wasting our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Impoverishing and baking the world.

3,000,000,000+ economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing global warming and inflation.

You have known this for years but continue to ignore root causes.

"Journalism."

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 1h

We can not continue to fight over money and silly tokens.

We urgently need to get rid of billions of #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense and to distribute money. Money backed by all the wealth, no longer wasted by all the nonsense.

I asked @borenbears.bsky.social of @apnews.com to address #bullshitjobs as the root cause of global warming for many years.

But he simply refuses to, and continues to inform us about the accelerating collapse of our biosphere.

Every ecosystem is collapsing and releasing more and more greenhouse gasses as they collapse.

Oceans, lakes, permafrost, various soils, forests ...

We are at the very brink of total environmental collapse.

Capitalism and its billions of #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense are wasting more energy and fossil fuels than ever.

An "economy" of nonsense is allowed to impoverish, bake and destroy a whole civilization.

We are beyond insane.

We should be wealthier than ever.

We should be working less than ever.

But we continue to waste most of our actual economy's output by engaging in billions of #bullshitjobs.

So thousands of "economists" can talk about a "recession". On a burning planet.

The craziest and most dangerous assumption in all of human history is that we lack money and that maintaining an "economy" that forces billions of people to fight over money, wasting most of our wealth in the process, resembles an economy.

"Economists" suffer from brain damage.

Capitalism and its billions of #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense is causing global warming to accelerate like never before.

An "economy" of ideological nonsense is allowed to destroy the existence of all of our children. But law enforcement doesn't care.

Millions of "economists" are telling us that we need more employment.

But here is an economist, working at the London School of Economics, telling us that most jobs are economically unnecessary, wasting lives, resources and energy. Impoverishing and baking the whole world.

Milei is forcing people into more poverty and #bullshitjobs than ever. Ruining a whole country. While talking about efficiency.

Trump and DOGE are doing the same. Also talking about efficiency.

They even got a financial bromance.

Es ist "Sparsamkeit", welche Menschen in Armut zwingt und in Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs. Wo sie dann den grössten Teil unserer Ressourcen und Energie verschwenden. Im Kampf um Geld.

Wir brauchen keine Sparsamkeit. Wir brauchen ein Grundeinkommen und ein Ende sinnloser Jobs.

#bullshitjobs @bullshitjobs.bsky.social · 1d

Milliarden wirtschaftlich sinnlose #bullshitjobs verschwenden mehr Ressourcen, Energie und fossile Brennstoffe denn je. Bedingen Klimakollaps, Pandemien und Inflation.

Wirtschaftlich sinnlose Arbeit macht uns ärmer und lässt den Planeten überhitzen.

The #bullshitjobs "economy" is wasting most of our energy. Renewable and non-renewable alike. We continue to ignore the issue and build even more wind and solar farms. So capitalism can waste even more energy.

While pretending that we are making progress.

Record global renewable energy growth remains short of climate target, report says

A record amount of renewable energy capacity was added globally last year, but that still left countries short of targets towards meeting a U.N. climate goal to triple capacity by 2030, a report by global renewable groups showed on Tuesday.
