> I'd be far more worried about this sending a false prosperity signal that could exacerbate our already insane and unsustainable population levels. Hello there, person I'm very glad entered this conversation as you did. You're talking about a great taboo. No one wants to admit that not every precious snowflake can do exactly what they want to be a shining star. Saying that we have too many precious snowflakes, or that we shortly will, is akin to saying that and it makes people nervous. But there are a lot of us, aren't there? And our population plan seems to be "Reproduce however you want until nature starts killing us off." It could be that our coming jobs shortage is the result of too many people. Our geographic area is big enough that there will always be a certain number of jobs because of the different specialized tasks necessary in each locality. But everyone wants a kid, and it seems the people who don't plan for those kids, whether rich or poor, have the most. This worries me more than global warming, nuclear proliferation and synthetic marijuana (mostly jk) combined.
