Take heed of Joyce's insinuated warning: we are again over-regulated (as the Danes were in 1936) and could benefit from cats to show us how to carry out our functions without needing instructions from overseers. (And note that when tasks require supervision, the supervisors are "at home in bed drinking buttermilk:" so jobs are not completed, houses are left vacant, tenders are un-selected, potholes are unfilled, rubbish is uncollected, people wait on trollies, and so on).
