Is it more moral?

100 families eat tonight vs 10 families eating really well.



That’s not the right approach to this problem. The moral thing to do is is to redistribute that added productivity increasing the beneficiaries of this increased added value


You don't solve that problem by creating pretend work or paying above market rate for work, instead that is what social safety nets are for (everyone should be able to eat, work just means you can eat better). Especially these days, and moving forward as automation takes over more lesser skilled tasks.
