Amenemhat,
I had a vision last night. In it, the Hebrew slaves covered the land. And there was no work. And they ate everything.
FYI, don't bring your eldest out next Sunday.
Enjoy your weekend!

I've reviewed the model. They didn't reproduce to projections. They were brought on for one project, which was expected to take a generation. They didn't die out but the project is ending, so now there are too many.

Yes we can. But I've analyzed it and my projections don't show us having anything worth feeding them to do.
As an aside, they eat a lot. We're going to have food issues soon.

It appears the Hebrew slaves have been multiplying faster than the budget can accommodate. I suggest working them harder and beating them more in order to dampen their future anticipated growth curve. We ought to be able to tackle this issue through attrition alone.

Amenemhat,
They've covered themselves. They claim they aren't actually at the births in time, so they can't kill the babies. Due to under-funding of our department, our database is primitive. We can't track whether or not they're telling the truth.
We can solve the problem by increasing our budget and thus our data storage and tracking capability.

There is no room in the budget. Send out Egyptian auditing groups. If they find baby Hebrew boys, reduce future the headcount by throwing them in the Nile. I'll have Pharoah authorize.
