I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

    Search engine optimizer – The entire industry, intentionally and with malice aforethought, exists purely to make it more difficult for search engines to provide quality output to search users.

      Kinda, but there’s also an implicit assumption here that search engines are unbiased, which they’re not.

    Any job working for a PBM (pharmacy benefit manager). Completely unnecessary third party parasites that drive up health care costs.

    Politicians. Don’t get me wrong, we do need them, but I strongly oppose the existance of people who never did anything else.

    I believe we’d be better off with a new set of randomly chosen citizen every so often. Kinda like jury duty.

      Oh hell no. You know how braindead most people are at something relatively simple like driving a car, managing finances, or logical decision making? And then you want to roll the dice and let potentially ‘the average’ citizen to partake in government? This also means you have to be fine with the dumbest motherfucker you have ever come across, making policy decisions.

      Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell naw. Fuck, we have some dense pieces of shit in govt/politics here in the states, but I know that we can do way, way, way fucking worse. Hell. No.
