We need to pretty much stop global immigration. There is no point in letting people come into first world countries that don't have enough jobs for their own citizens. With automation, immigration should become verboten.
- imrehg 11y agoAs a person living in my 3rd country for a longer time in my lifetime (Hungary -> UK -> Taiwan), based on my experience so far this approach just piles up the problems, and feels incredibly scary, cruel, shortsighted, and counter-productive. So much of the current state of affairs is moving toward a Global Community where for things to work optimally (from economic and human point of view) borders are more of an impediment than help. What I see all points towards mobility, remote work, reconfigurable economies, and a dynamic structure. On the other hand, all I see being done is trying to freeze old structures, like you can bring back yesterday's world. I don't have the answers, what should be done, but I've never seen a solution that fought the underlying patterns and trends, instead of taking advantage of them.
