Yes. Let's introduce OSHA standards into a theoretical example where moving rocks feeds people.
All the while spinning a billion bullshit nonsense side points.
Labor has a supply.
Labor has a demand.
To dismiss that is to dismiss reality. Yes. The nature of labor can change and some sorts of work can be abandoned when there is a shortage. No. That doesn't invalidate scarcity and your "degrowth is good and okay" seems tor to just be a hilarious and twisted rationalization of how when your ideals cause the economy (and more importantly the general will being of people in the nation) to collapse that it's actually a good thing.
Congrats, you managed to completely misunderstand the reasons why I view labor differently from you.
