I cannot change your perspective. You must do that. If you choose to view myopically, then you cannot see a bigger picture. Howfully you are only 20 years old. Spend the next ten years watching - asking damning questions while being poltiically incorrect - to appreciate how less workers on every product means more jobs. It requires you to stop taking a micro view that completely ignored innovation and that is preached by extremist conservative or liberals. Take a macro perspective to gain (work for) a whole new micro perspective.

If that last paragraph is confusing, then you have that much more work to do.

To see the bigger picture requires what the military calls a strategic objective. I have discussed this strategic objeictive often. Did you grasp the meaning? Currently you questions imply a Private's perspective. I cannot change your grasp with logic that your perspective cannot appreciate. But that reality is observed repeatedly in history. Countries that constantly do same work with less employees therefore have more jobs and must import more employees. That is what happens. Reasons why become obvious by grasping the bigger picture.
