Gas station impresario Amanda B. and Walking Zipper-Face Emoji Rony J. dive into the "work"-for-money system and how and why it's driving us mad via BULLSHIT JOBS, by David Graeber.

Marvel at how giving a homeless person $10 is a waste while giving a consulting firm $1,000,000 is an efficient use of capital!
