Wouldn't it depend on what you were doing? Pushing paper probably feels pretty shitty. Actually cleaning up a forest in California to prevent another fire probably feels pretty good. We don't make people work hard any more because that's degrading? Not really sure why that is. We had work programs for those unemployed. They paid ok. They provided real benefit for the country. For some reason we don't go back this.

I don't mean jobs that provide real benefit. I mean making cars or consumer products in cases where the local industry is dependent on import tariffs to survive because the same thing is made cheaper overseas.
