Couldn't we shrink the workforce in half but just banning women from working like things were barely 100 years ago?
Without women working to earn an income, they would be forced to be taken care of by the fathers or husbands. This would result in reduced consumption of resources; however, arguably, a lot of people's quality of life would improve.
But like isn't this counter to the whole "useless eaters" conspiracy? Like, if you reduce consumption then they aren't useless?
