This story does not touch much on
the details but it echoes my contention that young people including those who
are prepubescent want the opportunity to contribute to general production and
to get paid a fair reward for doing so.
The historic problem was that farm labor in particular was never
properly monetized and usually left the bad taste of exploitation.
We have reached the point with
computer support that it is completely possible to operate an internal closed economy
using internal fiat currency around a farm based production unit in which it
becomes plausible for both youth and the less active adults to contribute in
many ways and earn financial benefits.
For that reason I proposed the
deliberate linking on the condo tower living complex with its minute footprint
to a working farm. The natural synergy
could be captured through its internal economy to the benefit of both.
The farm labor problem has bedeviled
agriculture from the beginning. There
are times that the farm needs all hands on deck to get the crop in or to
properly process a product. Front ending
the cost with cash has always been an issue easily overcome with an internal
fiat economy that resolves naturally these issues. Importantly, teens are an important part of
that part of the farm economy.
As I have posted in the past,
working out the details will be a challenge, but it will also assist in sorting
out a large number of obvious societal inefficiencies while it is been done. The modern age of the internet is allowing a
new way of living to emerge and this item does throw down the one issue that
has to be addressed first. It is the
importance of the young to a lot of farming
that can be monetized but is presently
opposed by flawed thinking from the past.
I suspect we will see more such
stories emenrge.
