> Not that long ago there used to be people who would add up columns of numbers to calculate the books at companies Sure. If you go back a few centuries before that (much less in some regions of the world), you had maybe 90% of the population consisting of unfree agricultural laborers (serfs or slaves), with say 10% as soldiers to keep the serfs in line and defend the land against invaders, and a very, very thin veneer of lords and priests at the top. > But people will deal. I agree. They will. No one worries about all the unemployed serfs, because there aren't any. They're all doing other stuff.
