🐸 KEKTACULAR! 🐸
There are plenty of careers where doing nothing most days is important- like I worked at the Water Board for a couple summers in college, and they employ at least 4x more workers than necessary, but when water lines break or pipes freeze, we desperately need that excess capacity to be trained and competent. And many of them were on call 24/7.
But utilities are about it- same with the power company. We want them to be staffed 4x more than necessary so if there is a massive storm, we aren't out of power for the next month.
With the immense technological advances in things like food production (primarily the combustion engine to plant and harvest so it's not done by hand), transportation, and communication, the essentials of human life: food, water, shelter, warmth- are so easy to produce. We should have the option to work 20 hours/week and live like kings. Not because other people are doing our work for us, but because machines do so much now.
The only thing standing in the way is money dilution that attempts to make our labor functionally worthless.
