The Covid-19 pandemic and 'stay-at-home' orders have made one thing clear to me. If all the somewhat essential work is still being done, our society is doing really well.
Let me explain. A lot of people are not currently working. But we still have water, trash collection, electricity, gasoline, food distribution, medical care, auto repair, road repair work, etc, etc.
This tells me one thing that I'd previously not too seriously considered. The basic needs of survival for our whole society, are easily covered by fraction of the population. We've come a long way, and that's pretty awesome.
