#183 – Jobs: some of them are good, some of them are evil, and some of them shouldn't exist. It's onto the third category that we aim our sights in this episode of Downers, as we devote a special BOOK CLUB to anthropologist David Graeber's critique of useless societal work. What is it about us that leads us to create jobs that might not need to exist, and what does it mean for the common assertion of an efficient market? We don't know! That's why it's a podcast.

(Also, what is Brooklyn 99 going to do about next season?)

Plugs this week:

• Don't put your elbows into your ears (Hao)
• Michelle's art @michelleartbear (Jack)
• Washing your face (Kate)
