what are your thoughts on all this

there are a lot of bullshit jobs, but they exist due to layers of management obfuscation and the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, large corporations are often pretty inefficient, and if those in charge had their way, they probably would identify all the people who do 4 hours of actual work each week and fire them

At the level of the "economy" it's something no observer can know because it's based on a presumption of knowledge about what labor is or is not "socially necessary" despite no knowledge about the whole or the goal. Corporate management may know that specifically about their own operation but it's nonsensical to judge from the outside before asking why especially when you have no stakes in what will result from the decision.

These guys appear to be alt-right or whatever you want to call it but they're literally repeating the main fallacy of Marx.
