Re: If the West is in trouble

What if becoming dependent on immigration for both low and high paid jobs is a bigger problem? The long term answer is to reduce dependence by educating local people with the required skills, supporting a sustainable population and, er, using more automation and AI. AI doesn't have to be locally developed, it can be bought from partner / friendly nations, without migration of talent.

Another "problem" the west has is the desire among a political clique to prioritise running / controlling the world over the interests of their own people, including a series of military interventions that may have been avoidable. Perhaps a more multipolar world that endures greater influence from non-Western powers would allow Western nations to focus on their own population's interests for a change? I guess I must be a lunatic then...
