Humans have never worked so much in the history of humanity.
I think you meant to say we have never produced so much. Because we have tractors and shit.

producing shit is rather useless if it doesn't go where it is needed.
We never produced this much food but more than half of it ends up in landfills so do we NEED to produce this much?

Also, the industrial revolution did promise us less work and more free time.
This is not fantasy, it's in the books.

A bit like people laughing at Karl Marx when he said that given enough time, under capitalism, capital would amass in less and less hands and now we have what, 60 dudes owning as much as 4 billion others?

That's just what the world needs: less food 👍

Define "where it's needed", precious.
In the lungs of a meth addict living in a muddied tent? If "the gods" bestow such a gift on such rabble what will they do with it besides overdose?220_Solar Plexus Chakra_result_result.jpg

Are you a God, now, deciding who gets to live?

Is it ok if I get food, lord farquaad?

P.S: the world doesn't need less food, or even more food, it just need to send the food to the people who are hungry. Like there is more empty home sin the USA than there are homeless people.

It is actually cheaper for a society to provide people with a basic security net than to have programs to "alleviate" poverty.

Just my thoughts.

Also, I would much rather a methhead gets it than you, to be honest.
Just look at the man you are becoming.
Methheads might steal my bike and might OD in their crackhouse but they generally aren't nazis.
They're too busy being spun out.
