Millions #Nederlanders have been told this week that they are doing meaningless work, notes Pieter Derks. “If you are not on the list, you can assume that you have a useless profession. That must have struck a lot of people like a sledgehammer. You've made Excel sheets for years as if your life depended on them, and now it turns out that nobody's life depended on them.” Derk's appeal is not on the list either. “The only point we have now is to get sick. Because I can count, Mr. Rutte. I know exactly what half of the population you are talking about when you say that a lot of Dutch people are going to get sick.”

If you're not on the list, you're doing useless work!
