Does a TV need healthcare? Does it need it's own home? Are these not economic effects beyond simple supply and demand?

I don't see why simple supply and demand wouldn't still apply to those things.

Over several decades thousands of competent U.S. tech workers have been thrown out of their tech jobs and have been made to train their foreign replacements just to get their severance pay. What you have written above does not solve this problem; it exacerbates it.

Why do you call that a problem?

 

[charrob]

Why do you call that a problem?

Because thousands of competent U.S. tech workers would still have their homes, families and their lives would not have been destroyed had there not been an artificial influx of foreign tech workers.

Thank you for admitting this.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Thank you for admitting this.

But it's no big deal, because there is limitless room for more humans, more houses and more lanes on the freeways.

Is the influx artificially large or artificially small because of government?

I don't see why

There's no reason that should destroy anyone's life.

And those people may not have those jobs, but other people do. So they're still being done, only now more cheaply.

Seems like a good thing.

Or do you also moan the loss of tailoring jobs out there due to the advent of sewing machines?

 

[Superfluous Man]

Thank you for admitting this.

Do you disagree?

In North America? Pretty much.

At any rate there's no disputing that, as we now are, this land is terribly underpopulated.

Absolutely, I only spend 1 hour in traffic each way to work. I see no reason why we should not try to squeeze more people per sq ft.

+rep Combined with a sense of superiority is when it gets really interesting.

Were you naturally gifted with your social skills or did you have to work to develop them?

Then you live in a highly populated area. No matter where in America that is, you can travel 50 miles in almost any direction and find plenty of empty space. Just because you don't want more people in that little 100 square mile world you never step outside of, that's no reason to want a one-size-fits-all law imposed on the entire 4 million square miles of the USA where the conditions you describe don't exist.

I think it was you who wanted to impose "a one-size-fits-all law" on everybody.

Then you're really as dumb as you act.

Coming from you I take it as a compliment.

Why do you even post here? Is it just to troll? You obviously don't support the site mission and probably didn't support Ron Paul in any way.

Note to mods: I didn't call Timo's man a troll. I just asked the question. Please don't ban me.

It was nice talking to you. For someone with such a short tenure on the board you make excellent points. Hope to see you around in the future.

So, decades of the libertarian motto that immigration can increase once the welfare state is abolished goes right out the window?

This is a non-sequitor Brian. Obviously someone working for a living in private voluntary relationship with private business is not welfare.
