    And my point is that farming is hard work even if it’s only 20 hours a week and why would enough people choose to do hard work when they can do something less physically taxing for the same amount of pay?

      I fail to see how that same thing doesn’t apply today? Why do farmers work more than 20 hours instead with the same lack of benefit?

        Because people need jobs to survive and in a lot of places those are the jobs available for people with no education. What a strange question.

      I’ve lost your point here but frankly I don’t care to find it. You’re like the final boss of capitalist realism in this whole thread. You can’t seem to imagine any other way.

      A cooperative economy is better than a competitive economy is my assertion and I’ll leave it at that.

        Or… I think there is a huge gulf in between what you want and the capitalist society of today and it doesn’t have to be either/or.

        So many people seem to think we live in a black and white world…
