minus-squared00ery@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 months agoWe’re talking about food production. I misunderstood you. Have more people doing farm work, that way we have enough food and individual farmers don’t have to work so hard
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·3 months agoBut what if you can’t find enough people to do farm work? A lot of people work on farms now because they don’t have much of a choice. And if you could do easier work but be paid the same as you would on a farm, why not take advantage of that?
