If people want to bring back the Works Progress Administration, so be it. But special legal favors for certain industries distort the economy (even though they may help).
I feel like that is the way this has to go in the end. When almost all our needs are taken care of through automated processes, and only a few people have the skills to contribute to the creation and maintenance of that automation, we are going to need a large orginisation (logically government) to provide the rest of the population with livelihood.
