Workers and companies will move toward the money. That's a constant. Here's the fallacy: we have only ourselves to blame. We are the voters in these republics.

Workers and companies will move toward the money. That's a constant. Here's the fallacy: we have only ourselves to blame. We are the voters in these republics. We can set the rules of who gets to come, who gets to work and how they should be treated. The citizens are the only check on this capitalist, free-market system.

The fact that some people complain of facing legit competition in such high-wage jobs and even call themselves "leftist" is quite sad. I suppose that when you're that privileged, actual equality feels like oppression.
- rejectfinite 4y ago> facing legit competition What they are "competing" in is a lower salary. That's it. Its what they bring to the table and companies love it of course. I will not comment on the rest of whatever you think of me and how I live. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31235911 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31235911 explains it better for you :)
- rejectfinite 4y agoIt is mentioned in the article actually! We voted Sweden into EU thinking that the Swedish model would persist within. That was false and we had to let the flood of cheap labor in. The union hostile organization "Svenskt Näringsliv" and companies wanted this of course and lobbied for it. Including calling people in the union racists for not wanting to wage dump.
