Well, what I think we learned from COVID is that a bunch of the jobs that we think of as "bullshit" are really important. Yeah, critical-care nurses are important, we saw that, but we found out that grocery store workers are pretty critical, too. And truck drivers.

For that matter, I was at work a bit ago, using the restroom, and this janitor guy came in and started refilling the toilet paper rolls in the stalls. And it struck me that his job was really important. I don't want to do his job, but I absolutely don't want to work somewhere where nobody does it...
