The present World Trade/Migration/PoliticalModel is unsustainable.
In 20-30 years the jobs that are left in the First World will either be done by machines, low skilled/paid workers or a few high skilled/high paid workers. The taxes raised from wages will shrink to a level that'as unable to pay the costs of running a country. Especially one with very high unemployment.
Encouraging businesses to be in the First World will be pointless unless those companies are prepared to pay very high levels of taxes. They will be constantly minimising the workforce.
50% of the Wests population are of working age. Forget about whether they are in or out of work. They have to provide the tax revenues to pay for all the things we take for granted and 100,000s of jobs.
The big problem is can we afford to pay for all these people?
There will be one class that will be far better off, that's the one's who buy our politicians.
Until we stop voting for people who will fuck us over. They will continue to fuck us over.
People who think that whoever gets into office will fuck us are cowards. We can vote them out every election unless they work for us.
