Hey, I'm lazy and I don't like that sort of make-work at all. I want 
more efficient
production everywhere in order to reduce the *need* for people (including me)
to work.

(How to keep everyone employed when the need for man-hours is severely reduced
this way? Simple. Cut the required work week to compensate for the increased
efficiency. I rather thought that was what more efficient production 
was *for*.)
