History has shown that this will not be the case. I remember watching an ancient black and white TV news reel clip interviewing a factory owner about automation being introduced. He said in future that automation will allow people to work 4 days per week and still allow the company to be profitable and employees happy and well paid. Of course, companies just used such innovations to turbo boost their productivity and therefore profits. Won’t be any change this time around.

Not this year anyway. Atrocious weather all summer has resulted in 10% of last year’s harvest.

Beekeeping. It gets expensive very fast and doesn’t seem to ease year on year
