Slaves didn’t build the pyramids.
Workers were paid to do so.
Do you want to stay and build the pyramids (get some food and a place to sleep) or go try your luck on your own in the desert?
Slaves also didn’t do sharecropping, they were “paid” to do so.
No one knows what the implications were for the Egyptian “workers”
It doesn’t make sense to treat your workers bad because you get less work. They probably got a lot of food and water for energy.
But a lot of “workers” were poor when they started and were poor when they died.
Their labor did not bring wealth
I can’t get past how their transportation technique requires at least 1 extra person, but it seems like just the two guys.
It’s because no one is willing to work anymore.
They’ve got nothing but excuses. “I can’t come in today, I got the plague” and “my kid got eviscerated by a hippo, I need the day off for the funeral” and “this famine is making food unaffordable, please pay us more.” They’re all just lazy and ungrateful for the privilege of toiling.
Fuck
This disease that is work, many people actually enjoy building pyramids for others, so those who own them happily continue to exist.
Dont know why you’re downvoted because you are pretty right.
People enjoy working it give them purpose, this is why capitalism (making more money from wealth than from work) last so long
This is like saying people enjoy breathing, this is why health insurance companies exist…
Agreed, people enjoy working, if by working you mean being productive, building, creating, especially inventing something.
You can have two worlds where in one there is manipulative people holding all the wealth, doing nothing or in another where it’s fair.
Sometime ago someone decided it’s easier to manipulate others to do something and a snowball effect occured.
