If you whip your horses they pull the chariot faster.
If you keep whipping them they pass out from exhaustion or injure themselves and have to be killed.
Good thing there are 8 billion other horses clamoring to fill the gap.
Reminds me how Amazon started running low on people willing to work in its warehouses.
Just need to build it further away, you already killed the competition in the area so the residents can pay extra.
"Why are you collapsing from exhaustion on company time? That's not being a team player. Get up or you're fired!"
