I wish that industry would deliver on the promise of cheap, reproducible goods that require minimal effort to produce, we could live in a fantastic utopia where human beings work crafts and our needs are met for peanuts. Unfortunately this is not condusive to social control, people with too much free time build guillotines. So instead they turned us into cogs.

Is it possible for a society full of cheap goods and no resource scarcity to have meaningful work? Or does the necessity imbue the object with significance?
I was reading bookchin talking about artificial scarcity. He thinks that there is actually no scarcity, so any hoarding of resources while others go without is immoral to him. I'm not sure I agree, but it would be nice to see what a society without scarcity might look like. At least without scarcity for vital things like food, shelter, and medicine.
