Agricultural technology and research don't get transferred to farmers

[archdeaconj]

It's odd, isn't it. Even with all the labour-saving new technology - automated factories and computers - and women now having virtually doubled the work force, we are working not shorter hours but longer and more productive hours, grinding ourselves into the ground 'multi-tasking' and 'working under pressure' just to earn a living. What is even odder is that nobody ever asks why?

grind ourselves into the ground as we 'multi-task' and 'work under pressure', competing with one another to prove ourselves more 'highly motivated' and 'task-assertive' than the next poor slave to the System. Why?
