Letters to Ludo the Merchant Lion: #1
Translations provided by the Avenger.
Dear Ludo:
It is a pleasure writing to you. I am sure you remember when Bendraqi was active in his evil ways, he wanted to use his robots to try to steal all the jobs from the people so he can use those robots to produce more robots to take over our world. To some people, they have developed technophobia, fear of technology. To many others, it was seen as abuse of technology for selfish purposes. Here in The Netherlands, we are very adaptive people and compared to the world, as of the time of this writing, we work the least average weekly hours at 27 hours a week.
The biggest factor is the rapid advancement of AI and job automation technologies to not only help maintain our country, but also keep it growing. The reason being is that in those 27 hours, we put in our best efforts to deliver the best results. Then outside of those hours, we enjoy our leisure and use that time to see if our efforts delivered the results we wanted and how we can improve our nation.
It also helps to spend more family time and encourage married couples to produce as many children as possible for our nation to keep up with our growth in this world. You see a lot of tall and narrow family suburban houses in our country so that we will continue to have plenty of workers to fulfill all of our needs and wants.
I do not believe it is possible that AI and job automation technology will replace every single job in existence. It is just not possible. In the end, you need ideas to develop products, and actual people to not only deliver the technology, but also help maintain and replace them when needed. I believe that with less working hours, you have more quality workers, because they're not tired out from work. This in return produces maximum results. Such workers do get paid higher for putting in their best efforts, even if they work less, thus leaving AI and job automation tech to do the repetitive work without having to rely on people. So what are your views on the idea that less working hours means better productivity and more family time to not only raise children, but also produce more of them to serve as tomorrow's workers?

P.S. My field of study is psychiatry, but I specialize in family health, because our government has been funding heavily to citizens to encourage them to not only get married, but also produce as many children as possible, and even help families afford their own homes with as much family resources being made available to them as much as possible, which includes healthcare services for families. I'm also a recent medical school graduate as well.
Ludo's response:
Dear Dr. Bastiaasen:
I appreciate you writing to me; one of the best things about being a G-52 is getting to know the people we protect, and I also congratulate you on your graduation from medical school. I've always had mixed feelings about how advanced technology replaces humans in certain jobs and destroys others in the past, but these days, I don't have a problem with it. Some jobs will still require up to 40 hours a week depending on the nature of the job, but 27 is a good number to shoot for when referring to the job you're talking about.
CNG, however, is something that is way too advanced for this world, and Bendraqi in his villainous days was using that to help power all his robots he was using. That's why they were creating more robots on their own, and they also developed on their own the advanced AI that was used to power up GLO, or Green Light Operations, a company in my American counterpart's hometown of Wildcat City, Kansas, USA; this company makes various street signs, traffic lights, etc., and ships them out all over the world. Thus, when Bendraqi turned over a new leaf, the company bought his AI to help them run more efficiently, while still maintaining a mostly human workforce. (CNG is upset that it wasn't able to kill Bendraqi and keep him dead; somehow he came back to life, and became a much smarter man.) I think you might know the story from there; a TBTC terrorist lied on his resume to get hired as a janitor, used his own CNG to introduce new kinds of robots to help run the company, but the workforce would drop to almost nothing because of these robots. In the end, he died, because the CNG had gotten to him. (It wants to kill all humans, but at the same time, it thinks it has to keep the good and kill off the evil.)
However, you asked me, "What are your views on the idea that less working hours means better productivity and more family time to not only raise children, but also produce more of them to serve as tomorrow's workers?" I usually prefer to see proof that ideas like this work before I choose to support them or go against them, but this is something I do support. If people put their best efforts into their jobs and to ensure that the technology helping them is working properly, then we can let the technology do the rest so that we can spend more time with the family. Not all jobs and companies have this luxury, though; there's a few people I have met, for instance, that work at places like McDonald's, that still work 40 hours a week. Food is better off when it is prepared and managed by people, not robots.
If I missed anything, let me know, and I'll cover what I missed.
Yours truly,
Ludo Van Leeuwenhoek, a.k.a. Ludo the Merchant Lion

Chuong: The Netherlands is a country with centuries of science and innovation that makes the Dutch one of the most adaptive people in the world.
Zax: Which means lots of changes in that country. The Dutch are quite a unique bunch. There was a time when New York City was known as New Amsterdam so we get a lot of ideas from the Dutch that way.
Blitz Fox: We have some of the best scientists in the world and Ludo supports their missions and work that help improve not only the Dutch life, but also life for the world too.

Ludo: Don't forget, because of that, what's now New York State was once called New Netherland. Also not forgetting that Peter Minuit paid 60 guilders worth of traded goods for Manhattan according to legend.
Leo: Which is why historians say it amounts to $24 in USD.
Cripto: Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
Leo: Well, that calculation was done in the 19th Century. In today's values, that's way over $1,000.
