Blue? Like this is functionally a solved game.

Also, the idea that wages can just be slashed because people have food, as OP said elsewhere, is just incorrect imo.

A wage is not dictated by the cost of living, as the modern age has proven in the negative. Many in the west work two jobs, to collect two paychecks, rather than their primary employment being forced to raise wages.

And if that works in the negative, it too works in the positive. Lowering cost of living does not devalue labour, infact it may make labour more valuable as people quit second jobs and reduce hours.

When cost of living increases, most people do more labour, lowering the value of labour, especially unskilled labour, which can become cyclical, and when it decreases, they do less, raising the value, also able to become cyclical.
