How do we ensure the correct amount of people are doing the correct amount of work? The good thing about markets is that when demand is high and supply is low it suddenly becomes lucrative to do that thing and it attracts people to doing said thing. It becomes self correcting. If you leave people to just do what they most want to do everybody will choose to do what they consider fun rather than what is needed.

Yeah more ad hominem attacks. That's a really good way to convince someone you're correct, getting angry and lashing out for the crime of asking questions and trying to foster an open discussion.
For the record, I detest Elon Musk.
It's now actually canon that Padme did send someone to try and free Shmi but they failed.
I agree the word raid was the wrong word to use there
They don't just find land and build a fence around it though in the modern era, that's extremely reductionist. They pay for the privilege to work the land. Society as a whole agree the land is his because of this.
How do you parse how much belongs to the farmer and how much belongs to the community? I would argue we already have an arrangement like that. Who oversees this and what do they get out of if?
Most importantly where is the incentive to maximise yield if people are just growing personal crops? What if you want to eat but don't want to work the land?
Instead of an ad hominem attack you could try and explain it better.
Not really, I'm just trying to understand their position. It's not combative to ask pertinent questions.
Don't get into this if you don't want to get dogpiled by prudes. Lemmy is weirdly anti sex scenes.
Shudders like Sideshow Bob.... Ergggh Princeton.
There's nothing wrong with having fun, but if people just did what they wanted to do all the time, society would just straight up collapse.
How likely is it that people's preferred jobs match up with exactly what is needed?
