    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.

      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.

    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)”.

        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.

            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.

              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.
