I'd phrase it differently:

If we would scale down to only productive essential jobs, most people would be siting at home doing whatever they like.

So no, I am not happy that people do bullshit jobs just for the sake of having a job at all.

With no money from a job, sitting at home will be something people will not like. Doing what you like usually costs money, so you need a job. Any job.

How are you going to pay for a home anyways, without a job?
