    A combine can do hundreds of hours of labour work in an hour. We still have to produce the same amount of crops.

    Humanity went from 99% of the population working in farming to just 2% because of advancements in farming technology. We literally only need 2 people every 100 to grow enough food to feed everyone.

    That’s why not everyone needs to work.

    We have an over production problem. Companies still manage to keep prices high by employing artificial scarcity where they tell us they only have limited quantity when in reality they have an abundance of it. Supermarkets literally throw away perfectly good food everyday instead of giving it to poor people to keep the prices high.
