Build robots better than China and Japan does

you can't keep importing workforce indefinitely

eventually you become over populated

Why is Japan innovating in robotics so much?

Because of worker shprtages

rather than keep importing and importing foreigners until we're overpopulated to the brim, we might as well learn to cope with that impending problem now

rather than just taking this easy argument, "oooh it'll help the economy"

no. let's not ruin our countries for a quick economic buck

It doesn't help the economy

and you're the one arguing for higher wages when robotics and automatisation lowers them and causes structural unemployment

Man, I would be PSYCHED for worker shortages.

Imagine the higher wages

Yeah that happens.

@Fitzydog<:NPC:500042735617703967> <:sargoy:382978736053551104>

We can't have that can we

Why worry about unemployment with less workers?

Ok i'm just heorising here, now the EU parliament has proportional representation within the parliament. What decides this proportion ?. Is it population ratios between each country and if so, does it mean Germany is trying to rig the game by importing as many people into it's country to gain more and more of that proportion ?.

or am i being thick

Automation will lower pay eventually, but that's gonna occur in either case.

higher wages means higher inflation, you cant berate me about not knowing basic economics when you can't put this together... You think prices don't adjust to rising wages?!

Wut

Source please

if your country has too many old people, and not enough young people, then yes, they can't afford pentions and keeping them, and the life expectancy begins to drop. best to avoid these problems with better planning in the first place

Higher wages does NOT mean higher inflation

You have to be kidding...

The UK just raises pensionable age, problem solved

I'm not

the reason immigration is so necessary is that we've set ourselves up to DEPEND on it

So explain as to why prices in countries with high wages are astronomical?

like a drug

They are marginally connected by market factors, but they are not tied together @Capitán Alatriste

Have you seen prices in Switzerland?

and compare them to the high wages?

How do they compare with Purchasing power parity?

Look at their taxes

Prices rise with wages. You think shop owners and businesses are going to not want to cash in?

Ok i'm just theorising here, now the EU parliament has proportional representation within the parliament. What decides this proportion ?.

I don't think you even know what PPP is

Okay look at California gasoline @Capitán Alatriste

@GR0MIT pretty sure it's population, yeah

If you hold a business and you see people earning more, you are going to rise prices, as well as to cover rising expenses for your workers
