There’s a Douglas Adams subplot about a civilisation run by “executives” who determined janitors as useless. they got rid of them only to quickly die from diseases.
rule of thumb, if a job has to be done it is as dignified as every other job. it is BS propaganda that some jobs deserve to live in abject poverty without any respect.
They sent them all to crash land into earth, iirc, saying theyd be ‘right behind them.’ There are supposedly 3 ships: one with all the elites, executives, politicians, and another one with all the actual laborers. The middle ship (the one we actually see, and presumably rhe only one actually built) is full of middle managers, insurance salesmen, HR, and PR people, and telephone sanitizers. People labeled as a ‘bunch of useless idiots’ the rest of their society is then wiped out by a disease spread telephone handsets.
The ship crashes into earth, and the inhabitants become our progenitors.
