ad infinitum

as they will not breed due to zero physical contact with another person then they will have to allow a constant flow of immigration from countries where breeding is not out of fashion, e.g. Mexico, to sustain the productive economy

of course, this goes against the narrative the reactionary populists will have us believe, whether in UK, USA or Continental Europe

---

In the USA, we don’t have enough jobs for all of those “immigrants.”

---

with a falling birth rate and an increase in people becoming economically inactive as the last tranche of baby boomers retire, you will have plenty of jobs, especially in health and social care. The Japanese economy is already being crippled by these demographic trends.

Perhaps it’s one of perspective. Yeah, the Baby Boomers retiring is an issue because the current kids don’t know how to do fundamental tasks and colleges/universities are churning out idiots employers don’t want. Add in a push for UBI so people don’t “have to” work, and you do need replacement laborers.

This is nothing like Japan’s situation. We’ve created an entitled generation that finishes high school unable to read, write or do math at the same levels as my generation did. How is mass importing of unvetted illegal immigrants going to solve the problem? Indeed, it’s just creating a new group of disenfranchised to be cheap labor for the machine.

We have no shortage of bodies legally eligible to work in the USA…it’s more that an increasing number are poor employees and expect others to provide for them.

Boy, those help-wanted signs must be fake.

I can speak, from experience, that there is not a shortage of domestic workers. Thanks to cultural deterioration, a growing number are useless to an employer (combative and unreliable), want more pay than the employer can afford (even when wages were increased in response to inflation and the demands for a $15 minimum wage), and/or too inept so the employer doesn’t have to watch them all day to ensure the work gets done. As I’ve been told, “Your job is to make the boss’ life easier.” If the boss has to watch you all day, he might as well do the job himself.

I have a JD (Juris Doctorate) degree. Chose to not practice law (long story), and while I have a darn good job now, I did all kinds of menial drudgery jobs before doors opened for me. Employers loved that I was reliable and could be trusted to work unsupervised. Just finding those qualities is increasing difficult to find in candidates.

I don’t see how flooding the marketplace with unskilled immigrants will fix this.

The real issue is one of culture, and I blame the parents. It used to be that kids were taught there was no free lunch, life isn’t fair, one is not owed anything by society, and you have to make your own way in the world. We now have “adults” who believe the exact opposite of that and can’t comprehend why employers don’t want to hire them or pay them $15/hour for an entry level job.

This isn’t new. Going back to the 1990s, I had an uncle who refused to hire people of a particular minority group, but he hired plenty from a different minority group. It had nothing to do with racism. With the first group, every time he gave someone a job, he got someone who had a bad attitude, was unreliable and argumentative, and required constant supervision. The second group were almost always an asset. The cultural attitudes were night and day, and as my uncle pointed out, he had a business to run and didn’t need workers who he couldn’t rely upon.

We don’t have a shortage of workers…we have an excess population who doesn’t want to work.

My two granddaughters both completed their BA degrees at UCLA and UC Santa Cruz in only three years and both graduated with honors at the top of their classes. The older one that went to UCLA even finished her studies at the Frie University in Berlin taking her classes with German speakers and learning the language as she went. Both kids are really smart. Their problem is that they just are not motivated to get out and find a job. They have found it easier to just let their mother make all of their decisions now and to take care of them as they live in their separate bedrooms. I really fear what will happen to them when their parents are no longer able to do that.
