Ideas to boost the hard cozy domestic/online economy to make up a bit for the economic losses of the service/contact based commercial sector? 🤔

The problem with the domestic economy is that it is fundamentally less efficient. Fewer economies of scale (eg it would take 10 home cooks in home kitchens to match the output of 1 cook in a commercial kitchen).

OTOH, home economies can produce a lot more variety in massively parallel scale. Higher economies of scope. They could also be strung together into digital assembly lines. What could 10 homebound high-school-education people do using just google docs and messaging for eg?

Could be more of a problem of measurement - “efficiency” is measured quantitatively, other things less so: “Resiliency”, “social cohesion”, “loyalty”, “love”, etc. maybe we’re just optimizing on measurable things
