Well, we could actually pass some laws that round up all the harvest workers and transport them from the rural areas to the cities.
So let's do that.
Well, that's what they did.
And I know from growing up in Bavaria, when the harvest comes, that's when the schoolboys and schoolgirls and students getting asked, can you please help the farmers?
We've got a big crop.
We need helpers.
And you earn some money per hour, which is nice.
Everyone's like, that's the harvest time, right?
But if you divert millions of people, forcibly transporting them away from the rural areas at harvest time or just around harvest time,
That's certainly something you can do to disrupt the delivery of food in that year.
So that was taken.
Now, it turned out to be not enough because farmers are resourceful and partly they had ways to still farm a lot, harvest a lot of the crops.
Now, there is a natural or seemingly natural way you could reduce a harvest.
And if you read the Bible, in bad years, you know, horrible things happen like swarms of locusts come and eat up the crops.
Yes.
Which is actually, you know, clearly not every year.
It's unusual.
It's so unusual that when it happens, you know, it's recorded for thousands of years, like in the Bible.
Wouldn't it be nice to arrange for that?
Well, in a bumper crop year, right?
