patter: “@ DGI working while thinking, to redo an old sloga…” — Plamenu

David Graeber Institute@DGI@graeber.social

The reality of modern work and of the opportunities available.

"Unless you get very lucky, your choices are largely limited to two options. You can get a basically bullshit job, which will pay the rent but leaves you wracked with the guilty feeling that you are being forced, against your will, to be a fraud and a parasite. Or, you can get a helpful, useful job taking care of people, making, moving or maintaining things that people want or need - but then, likely you'll be paid so little you won't be able to take care of your own family."
