I know this is not the topic of this article, but could someone explain to me whether these are the jobs David Graeber called . Because to me it seems as just another case of someone ignorant talking of things they don't understand.

“What they tell me is it’s just cutting out the waste, the excess spending — that your job’s not that important. I’m not saying it’s the most important job in the world but it’s my job. It’s important to me.”

David Graeber essentially defined bullshit jobs as ones that the people themselves who did them believed were without social merit. He figured no one would know better than the workers.
