> A bullshit sector, but the jobs themselves are not "bullshit jobs"

If a sector (industry) is bullshit, the jobs are too.

> the climate change stuff here is a total non sequitur

I was reacting to

'with a good manager, they will remind you of the meaning inherent in the work. At McD's, perhaps: "Remember folks, we're getting hungry people fed, hard working folks deserve a fresh hot meal"'

Serving hungry people "fresh" hot meal does not alone make it non-bullshit job. Maybe I was not clear enough ... consuming meat & dairy destroys the environment (and animal agriculture is the main culprit), and not consuming meat & dairy is a best way to stop anthropocenic crisis (overshoot). There are enough peer reviewed scientific studies that confirm that. Ask if you want more sources.

> The worst part about being vegan is other vegans

Funny, but somehow relevant: https://i.redd.it/xuwnig93hg6b1.jpg

> There will always be food service jobs, and they will always be tedious and taxing ... serving ideologically-correct foodstuff

By definition those are not bullshit jobs.
