What would you do with a workforce of around 40 million people or more working for you? They are all semi-illiterate and can only do farming jobs but can learn other low level jobs such as fishing and mining.

In this hypothetical scenario you have enough money to pay them, you just need to find a way to optimize them into making you the most profits possible.

If you answer "mine crypto" you have no imagination or sense of ridiculous.

I keep thinking of cool ideas, but the amount of people keeps fucking this up. 40M is insane. It's overkill. Maybe have them all build housing and collect money back from them, or have them dredge peninsula for a new city.

I can't make optimal choices for myself and you expect me to make optimal choices for 40M people?
