Time passes only if an observer sees
Based on the situation described by this earlier question:
recap
If due to some strange phenomena that changed our universe laws, time stopped and can only move if a creature capable of observing is looking at a process. Everything stopped everywhere in the universe, except where creatures with eyes are looking at.
You look at people moving a heavy piece with a crane. The crane cable breaks. If you keep looking the piece will fall towards the ground, but as soon as you turn around and stop watching, that scene stops.
There is no distance limit. If you look at a star 10 ly away from you, time is back running for that star, if you stop looking at it, time stops. Et cetera.
the question
Given the above setting, how to prevent starvation, economic downturn etc?
