> labour (by which I assume you mean immigration) Why would that be the assumption? Labor supply varies due to all sorts of things - childcare availability; education and skills; internal migration, which ties into things like housing markets; population growth and demographics; productivity and availability of capital; with remote working, even things like access to high speed internet affects the available labor pool... it's not just 'how many warm bodies are inside the border?' |

I thought the phrasing of the person I was replying to implied they were grinding that particular axe.
Of course there are more complex things to discuss here, and in practice reality here is not yet modelled successfully with maths, so we certainly won't figure it out with verbal reasoning.
I was just a bit disappointed with their obvious-yet-probably-not-correct argument, and felt maybe I could respond in a way that made them think it through a bit more.
