"The main problem is that we're way too productive for the amount of people we have."

Look around you, there is plenty of work that needs done.

Doctors and nurses are overworked (so am I in my opinion). The streets could be cleaner. Public services are getting crapper and crapper (back in the 70's bin men came around once a week, walked up your drive and collected the bins, nowadays you have to do take it to the correct position outside your home). Teachers complain about workload.

Every time you have to wait in a queue, think if that would be there if there were more staff.

Its a complete misallocation of resources.
