A Merchant or Craftsman, seeks to create them for moral reasons: reciprocity. A Banker of Financier seeks to create them for questionable reasons: rent seeking. A Priest, Public Intellectual, or Politician seeks to create them for immoral reasons: parasitism. Truth follows this hierarchy.

“So, every penny that goes to an immigrant, five pennies don’t go to the native
—“So, every penny that goes to an immigrant, five pennies don’t go to the native poor. 1 penny for the immigrant, 4 pennies for the rich. Who should you hate more, someone who stole 4 pennies from you or someone who happened to get one penny?”— a friend False dichotomy. Return the immigrant. Punish the businessperson for hiring him. Let market push up wages due to labor shortages. Redistribute liquidity directly to consumers, bypassing the financial sector and the interest it collects for that distribution. You have to do all of those things to eliminate wage income disparities while at the same time preserving incentives, the ability to organized production, distribution, and trade through the pricing system, and neutralize international differences in purchasing power parity. People in general have zero comprehension of economics. -

SORRY BUT WE ARE A PROFITABLE POLITY ON OUR OWN.
Our invaders are dead weight.
The people of the middle east like dead weight.
The people of south America like dead weight
The people of central Asia like dead weight
The people of India like dead weight.
The future belongs to the most homogenous polities with the smallest underclasses for the simple reason that demand for services outstrips comparative advantage in productivity.
Ergo, via-negativa, the future belongs once again to the best gene pool, because that pool has the lowest drag. And our current condition nothing but malthusian expansion to the point of consuming all the gains from the harvesting of petrochemicals.

@curtdoolittle The problem is that the parasites are stealing so much value from the laborers that the laborers don’t have enough money to reproduce their labor for the next generation. As long as the system exists we can’t help but become a 3rd world country because there are no native babies.
