    Humans are the ones who produce the things needed for a higher quality life. The problem is the 1% of humans at the top who steal the goods everyone else makes, not the majority of humans who contribute to making the world a better place.

        In Civilization 7 Horses resource gives +1 damage to Cavalry units in Ancient and Exploration Eras, but in the Modern era Horses resource gives +6 Happiness instead.

          If there's any animal that deserves our respect and our care, it's horses.

            I see what you're going for re: automation, but calling this a genocide seems weird to me. Then scaling down cattle farming would also be genocide. There's no horse culture that got eradicated, just less breeding.

                They didn't just scale down. Literal tons of horses got slaughtered around the turn of the century and great depression.

                  Search "Macintosh skydiving game." Skydive! from 1999? You mean Skydive!? Don't scroll down, it's all Skydive!.

                  Search "classic Mac skydiving game." Skydive!'s an iMac-era classic, so you must want another twenty of the same thing.

                  Search "classic Mac freefall game." Ohhh, you mean Sky Diving Simulator, from the same year.

                  Deep sigh.

                  Search "classic Mac game where you can drop a guy on a horse." Stunt Copter, yeah.

                  FINALLY.

                    60% of GDP are wages. People can earn 50% more if all profits would be handed out as wages.

                      I have no idea how that makes any sense.

                      First of all, according to your link, the richer countries seem to already be at much higher values, second I have no idea where that 50 percent value comes from even if we ignore the variety in distribution over the various countries.

                        Owning a horse is like owning a boat. It's not going to grant you happiness.

                            The countries look darker but if you mark a western country, the shown numbers are slightly bigger than 60%.

                            If a country has 66% of GDP in form of wages, and you increase the wages by 50%, you need 33% of the GDP which leads to 99% of the GDP being used for wages. Obviously there can't be more.

                              Considering horses have the possibility of being loyal lifelong pets I'd say they can very well give happiness

                                  Germany recently declared horses are no longer work animals but recreational, hiking vet prices astronomically. Also, horses might be driven around now but I'm sure there were more of them when 90% of the population were farmers and they all needed some of them.

                                        Vets aren't organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the "Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)".

                                          They say the two happiest days in a horse owner's life are the day they buy the horse and the day the horse tramples them to death.
