Subsistance farming is not what I would call gardening. The amount of planting, tending, harvesting and canning required to feed a family of 4 is a full-time job during the growing season. Nevermind all the other homemaking chores.
So get robots to do it. I never said anything about subsistence farming. But if we keep up with the idea of everyone needing a job we’ll never get to a place where nobody has to work.
We’ve already automated so much of it that just 1% of the population farming grows more than enough food for everyone.
I’m with you, and I agree. But the 1% doing all the hard work are going to have a real problem with the communists choosing “art therapy” as their activity. I think automation is the future.

Okay, so reduce it by another order of magnitude and everybody does a long weekend farming every ten years
