Except aren't a lot the jobs you described usually trying to sell products that aren't necessarily good for the planet?



Exactly this. Without stuff to sell, those "industries" wouldn't really exist. If your blog relies on ad revenue and you have nothing to advertise you're not making money. Gucci doesn't need to advertise if there's no competition to Gucci.


On the other hand nobody is going to die because society decided it no longer needed Gucci. There is a strong argument we would be better off without them.


You remove enough luxury products and people won't have jobs though.
