We can find meaningful work for everyone; we cannot necessarily find remunerative work for everyone. We have the economic capacity to provide remunerative work

We can find meaningful work for everyone; we cannot necessarily find remunerative work for everyone. We have the economic capacity to provide remunerative work for everyone, but make-work is (almost by definition) not meaningful, especially when it is overtly designated as such. We probably don't have the economic capacity to provide everyone with the opportunity to find their own meaningful work and we certainly don't have the political will. Solving that conundrum is equal parts opportunity and crisis.
