People are not fungible ElM. Whether immigration is good depends on who is immigrating. <Ageing Europe needs the new blood immigration brings> I'll take 10,000 Albert Einsteins rather than 1 Islamic Jihad. Rather no immigration than any Islamic Jihad. A declining population is fine. What's needed is more eugenics and declining population. Fortunately, that's what we'll be getting. Women continue with their merciless eugenics programmes, rejecting hordes of males, willy nilly, selecting only the best they can find. No wonder there's a Flynn Effect. Women select for intelligence. Hooray for their eugenics programmes. The population declines have already started in Japan and Italy. Come 2037, or sooner if there's an H5N1 or similar onslaught, there will be Peak People and the long decline will come. That will be good. The idea that we need more and more people is silly. Similarly, we don't need GDP growth. If robots can produce cars and houses for $1 each, that will ruin GDP, but that's fine by me. If everything I buy costs nothing, that's great. I don't mind being paid nothing if everything costs nothing. There's less tax that way which is a nice thing too. Deflation is lower prices and lower prices are better than higher prices. Mqurice
