Chatting about video games seems to be the best chance at having a fun convo that doesn’t turn into dehumanizing groups of people. If we can pull that off, given Luigi’s supposed internship at Firaxis, the rotation could scrape by a passable 7/10.

More realistically, a 2 or 3/10 if the weed is really good. Otherwise I don’t know if I would even bother.

Part of the problem is also that, while an acre of land can feed a family of 4, there’s no way to generate enough surplus from that single acre to be able to afford a tractor in the first place. So the tractor creates the need for much larger farm plots being owned by a single person, which way up all the supposed extra free time the automation/mechanized tool was supposed to bring.

In the end, less people can work the land to sustain themselves and the only people better off are those who already had more than enough to go buy.
