your average toilet uses 3-5 gallons per flush

I’m pretty sure toilets generally use 1.6 gallons per flush, and that’s a legal mandate.

Source: used to have an autistic obsession with them.

I'm honestly surprised that cleaner and garbage collector are as high up there on the list as they are because those seem to be jobs that society generally looks down on.

At least the graphic has that going for it.

I wonder if doctors get elevated on these polls because people feel like it is a more unattainable skill.

I would imagine a lot of people (falsely) assume that it would be easy to plop people into power plants to keep them running, but harder to replace doctors.

My completely unknowledgeable take is that if we had to pick and choose people for the post apocalypse job hunt, we would want way more mechanics and engineers than doctors. Doctors need a lot of hard to obtain stuff to do the most doctor-ey part of their jobs, and if we aren't worried about laws and regulations, then we don't need them for things like prescriptions.

Most of what they would be needed for in that scenario to me seems like emergency care, like first aid, which you don't really need all the superfluous med school training for.

Meanwhile, the hydroelectric dam that the new post apocalypse group is forming at needs a lot of varied disciplines and specialties just to keep it running.

What about the least essential?

1. Tax consultants - helping companies avoid contributing to society
2. Marketeers - manipulating people into buying worse products for higher prices
3. Middle management - causing a lot of fuzz while doing nothing of significance.

Just to name a few. An artists contribution may be abstract but it's certainly there. There are others that actively sabotage society and very often they make a lot of money.

For modern society, sure. For foundational society, you don't have any societies without Farmers, Educators, and some sort of doctor.

I assume this is why we hear about foreign actors targeting power stations more than hospitals.

You can listen to things while driving, but it is either NPR, talk radio, or church sermons.

It's not that I disagree with the principle, but on the mentioned occastions, I will ~99% of the time listen to podcasts or audio books instead of music.

I don't listen to anything in any of those scenarios.

Many people are not listening music 24/7.

Music is nice, I don't say it's not. But you could 100% live without it.

Its right about telemarketing

Is this the list from Hitchhiker's Guide?

They're the people who just haul their own trash to the dump.

A good UI has nothing to do with art. In fact, art leads to terrible UI.
