*Yawn* shitty text.

The core is an idiocy/fallacy/stupidity called faulty generalisation: since some middleman jobs are useful, the author assumes “middlemen jobs” in general are useful. Even if those “middleman jobs” have barely to do with each other, except by not being directly involved into the production. (Cue to the examples: what do logistics and leadership have to do with each other?)

I think many people have some intuition that work can be separated between “real work“ (farming, say, or building trains) and “middlemen“ […] Like many populist [SIC] intuitions, this intuition is completely backwards. Middlemen are extremely important!

It’s rather disingenuous how the author only contradicts the popular intuition partially - note how the text still relies on its artificial division between “real jobs” and “middleman jobs”.

The rest of the text is as worth dissecting as Skibidi Toilet is.

Like many neoliberal administrative-margin fiddlers, the author assumes average citizens sympathetic to populist tendencies to be mouth breathing hogs incapable of critical thought. “They know not what is good for them!”

The level of contempt is palpable, and the feeling is mutual.
