this crisis has exposed my 130k/year desk job as completely pointless make work crap and I'm having a bit of crisis over it.
Maybe more when you consider how many of the remaining require <10% of the time they put in.
I'd say 5% or fewer are not b.s.

That doesn't prove anything. All those people who work at jobs entertaining us from sports to restaurants to movies and on and on are not BS jobs. Entertainment is a valuable, even necessary part of our lives. When we are talking dying or not, then entertainment takes a spot on the back burner, but when not in a crisis, we would all be pretty sad without people in those jobs. So many other jobs then support those jobs. Necessary for a happy life.
For the record, the Donkey shows in Tijuana are live!
Yep, just like that Pandemic response team Trump got rid of a couple of years ago.
Define essential please. Companies who are in existence to make money for “non-essential” services could be considered essential to the ownership and employees of those companies because the work keeps food on their tables. In the same way you could argue that police officers and health care workers are not essential if you don’t care about order or life.
Very few. We long ago reached the point where we should be able to make everything we need and generate a basic income for everyone without making up jobs for them.

If you didn't know this before now then you are naive. I happily work a desk job that pays me WAY too much. But I gladly admit it.
Working in a restaurant is BS, right?
We don't need to eat outside of our houses.
Working at a hotel is BS.
We don't need to sleep anywhere but our homes.
Working at a retail store is BS.
We don't need to look at clothes, shoes or things before we buy them.
Working as a teacher is BS.
Kids don't need instruction.
Being a day care provider is BS.
People don't need someone else watching their little ones if they don't have a job to go to.
Who else is out of work from their BS jobs?

There is a market for a job then the job is not BS.
