Work should create value and in fact most of these make work jobs destroy it by slowing things down or requiring more meetings etc.

There is always valuable work that can be done. It can be improving the maintenance or cleanliness of places, etc.

Shout-out to the Civilian Conservation Corps. We should bring that program back.

We could bring back Workd War II and create even more jobs — assuming that’s what we are trying to do in an America with 3.9% unemployment.
