Ask HN: What can startups do to increase prosperity for everyone?<p>We need a better system for measuring and distributing the value of our work. We lose so much collective value because of the system of inefficiencies built up around how we quantify that value. When 70% of working Americans don&#x27;t give a shit about their job, we&#x27;re talking about trillions of dollars worth of &quot;productivity&quot; wasted...<p>Prosperity comes from people doing meaningful work and exchanging that for an abundant lifestyle. I love the idea of basic income, and am 100% in support, but it is only a tool that will (hopefully) enable people to find their meaningful role in society by alleviating the struggles of poverty consciousness.
