So it was mentioned to me how Tinkerbell managed to put a bunch of Faeries out of work through her inventions. So I got to thinking about the economic ramifications of Tinkerbell’s inventions on Pixie Hollow.

Lets take her painting machine that paints a Ladybug in under 10 seconds. Previous to her invention it took 10 to 15 minutes. Let’s just say it takes ten for our discussion. So in 60 minutes the Faeries would manage to paint 6 Ladybugs. Now with Tinkerbell’s painting invention they can paint 360 of the little suckers in an hour. If my math is any good, which it isn’t, I think that’s a 600% increase in production.

So lets say your production goal is 1000 Ladybugs. Under the old method is could take 166.6 hours for them to meet the 1000 production quota. That’s nearly a week. With the new technology they can now produce 1000 Ladybugs in 2.7 hours. Now this is if only one Faerie was working on the project. To meet the quota of 1000 Ladybugs in 2.7 hours by the old method I believe they would have to have 60 Faerie’s working on the product.

So Tinkerbell has effectively eliminated 59 jobs in Pixie Hollow. And we haven’t even discussed her other inventions.

What does this mean for the poor Faerie’s now out of work? Or do they now just over produce items. Instead of only getting 1000 Ladybugs a year you get 1 million?

I think Tinkerbell has effectively screwed most every Faerie in Pixie Hollow.
