We can’t be feeding people who do no work. It is much better that they be put to it than have the task “solved” by some brainiac who would rob them of the fulfillment of employment.
That’s a false choice if I ever heard one. Surely reasonably-paced increases in productivity could spawn job creation in other areas? And while modern-day capitalism is not exactly encouraging this, maybe we can take advantage of less manpower needed to make society function by having less time working (with a similar quality of life) for all? If there were only so many employment hours available, there are ways of distributing that other than raising the unemployment rate or artificially lowering it.
That sounds like the kind of thing that could easily, and perhaps should, be automated.
Why do that when you can provide jobs to the needy?
Making people do work is inherently valuable even if it’s unnecessary, monotonous, pointless, soul crushing work, is it not?
No, that sounds like the pitch from some weird sadist

another greentext for you
He was not wrong, reducing shovel size is a great way to even out productivity to include those who would be otherwise unemployed.

Sounds like you want all those hands to idle longer.
