    Agree w Zuckerberg: We must measure "progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful."

        what a load of rubbish. Find a way to make cleaning toilets meaningful and I'll listen. Otherwise it's just another out of touch rich guy.

        On Maslow's hierarchy of needs,a meaningful role would b 4th or 5th need.a job,a permanent job n a decent paying job being the first 3.

        I'm not sure I agree. "Meaningful" as in working for a non-profit for not much money or working @ 2-3 miserable jobs to make ends meet?

        Yes but whilst you guys are right IMO, you are fighting against the stream. Election of Trump = boost for those who chase $ at any cost

        Yes but very coastal elitist in that many people would find work meaningful that is safe and pays the bills. Also important metrics.
