        Then there’s a problem. However we somehow manage to employ a few billion people currently.

          Those few billion people are currently not paid the same as an accountant to do much more demanding work.

            We’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

              But 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?

                We already have people working lots of hours doing jobs they might not want to do.

                The question was could we reduce the number of hours people work and still have enough food
