The number of countries with population growth large enough to serve as a stable supply of immigrant labor is shrinking by the day. The sooner we adapt our economies to operate without being dependent on an underclass of foreign workers, the better we can avoid actual serious trouble down the road.
- threeseed 7y agoUK had a massive supply courtesy of the EU and they benefited immensely from it. Now that it is going to dry up what is the long term solution for health and social care workers for example. You can't automate genuine human compassion and understanding with a DL neural net.
- fiblye 7y agoThe UK benefited from it, sure. Meanwhile Bulgaria's population has dropped by about 25%. They deserve health workers just as much as Brits.
- plantain 7y agoAre you really pro-brexit because you're concerned about Bulgaria's healthcare?
- myle 7y agoThat would make a lot of sense if he is from Bulgaria. Also, in other cases too.
- fiblye 7y agoI'm from nowhere near Europe and I'm not letting anyone pin me as pro/anti-brexit. I just think it's weird how some "common sense" policies that benefit one country often come at the cost of another country.
- Tomis02 7y agoYou make it sound like Bulgarians were enslaved and sent to work on foreign lands. No, people left voluntarily for a better life. Also, these policies benefitted Bulgaria as well, otherwise they wouldn't have joined.
