Lugh----this was tried in India many years ago. Their leaders banned quite a few modern machines with the object to make jobs. Failed miserably. I believe it was Milton Friedman that said, why ban motorized equipment for building dams and moving earth, why not just make using spoons the tool of choice for moving earth. Takes a lot more people to move a ton of dirt with spoons than with a dozer. Of course each employee is not very productive so you cannot pay them much. India learned this the hard way and a lot of the people there starved in the 50s and 60s.

Uncle Milty didn't believe in the border with Mexico. Borders get in the way of the free flow of good and services - and money! Elon likes Milty. Elon is a globalist too I imagine.

Capitalism per se is anti-nation in its mature or final form. National Socialism has to step in before this stage is reached if the nation is to survive. We missed our stop.

Yeah they tried to build Pyramids without machinery and ended up using mind power to levitate the stones until they got Jewish slaves!
