> Support groups, fostering community through more local activities and places of belonging, funding social workers. I'm sure there's more.

In a post-labor-centric economy (if that's where we are heading with AI/automation) those are also among the things we'll need to figure out how to pay more people to do anyways.

There's tremendous value for society in paying people to care for the wellness of others, their communities, and the local and global environment. So therapists, park builders, environmental remediators, and more.

Communities composed of the wealthy already do this quite successfully for themselves today, as anyone who has driven through prosperous areas full of wellness services has observed.

The problem is we have to come up with ways of quantifying that value monetarily so it "makes sense" to markets and the signals they follow, which will otherwise completely ignore universal wellness as an objective, or even actively move against it, under the belief that the non-wealthy do not deserve the wellness that the wealthy enjoy.
