I watched this for the first time the other day, and thought it was absolutely awesome.

While it's a comedy film, it surprisingly touched on a lot of areas seen in David Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs' concept, 14 years earlier.

Well acted, supremely funny and well written, and a particular joy to anyone who's worked in an office, or had a family member who did. There's not really any low or slow point in the film, it's steadily excellent the whole way through.

... Surprising?

Just ahead of the curve.

... Sorta like how people seemed to think Carlin was... joking.

Delivered in an entertaining, humorous way?

Yes.

Joking?

No.

Surprising in the sense that I just wasn't expecting it, as I wasn't really familiar with it.

Ah, my bad, I saw it decades ago, and you did say you just saw it, I was needlessly hostile.

IIRC, ... I think the movie actually did inspire a number of people, in real life, to attempt to do the ... fractional penny slush fund.

Yep, here's a more recent case:

... he said that once they fired him, his opinion was, ‘Fuck ‘em,’” the report said.

An inspiration to us all
