Like I said, in the pandemic the work of hospital and grocery staff mattered but these jobs aren't valuable because they are heavily underpaid. If they would have stopped working matters would have got way worse. This isn't true for 99% of software developers and 100% of athletes.

Some athletes on the other are overpaid and their sport doesn't really matter.

And by matter I mean are necessary for survival.
