Once the wheel starts turning, production has begun.
The next step is to increase efficiency.
Or, as the old saying goes, "Even a little effort can turn the state." In other words, if the wheel of state is well established, even if you give a donkey a task, it will do its duty.
But the wheel is set up in such a way that it constantly makes noise and the people sleep, while the donkey continues to turn with its eyes closed, its bell around its neck...
.
You might say, "What if the donkey realizes the situation?", but if we found a donkey that smart, we would untie its blindfold and put it in charge of the mill, wouldn't we?
