Kinda depends on what kind of economy you want. If you need an educated population for advanced work, provide healthcare and welfare in general. If you just need some schmucks to work in the mines or sweatshops, it’s much less of a priority. You get what you pay for in the end.
Our main issue is that the 1% get to say what kind of economy we want instead of the other 99%. We all know the 1% would love to replace all humans with AI.
I think the 1% are idiots. Culture comes from people, and the wealthy go out of their way to prevent the fostering of culture. New foods, new media, tourism, people to do things with, all vanishing because the people are too busy being run ragged for the sake of a line going up.
Money is inherently boring. Money is just a means of accessing cool stuff, but if neat things goes extinct, money becomes pointless. The elites are myopic as hell.
With every million people forced to be burger flippers, a George Lucas or Hideo Kojima won’t have a career. Our overlords are robbing themselves of a more interesting life.

Where we see the tragedy of the commons, they see first-mover advantage.
