The world is full of people we could let in. We don't need to make new workers with a 22-year lag.

- bediger4000 4y agoWho gets to decide which industries are allowed to "let people in"? I mean, the current situation is great for programmers/software engineers. At other times in history, situations like this have been great for other practitioners. How do we decide? I don't want to lose my job, or have my salary depressed because Microsoft thinks they're paying too much for workers. Who's to say that Microsoft isn't just whining?
- StrictDabbler 4y agoI do not personally want to loosen the labor market. I just can't believe we're jumping to "increase the birthrate" in these conversations. If we run out of workers in any way that matters we should hire people who already exist. It is unethical and irrational to suggest that deliberately creating millions of human lives is a valid solution to a minor business problem.
