this is how you start a civil war.

… not the onion?

Is this fair?

Is this sane?

What is normal?

The labor market is a market. It is regulated by supply and demand. The good being traded for money is human labor.

If supply goes down (fewer workers being born), prices go up; that means, higher wages.

If supply goes up (more workers being born), prices go down; that means, lower wages.

Fortunately population numbers are returning to sane levels, and doing so without bloodshed, famine or diseases. What a fortune.

Yeah I observed something similar.

Applied to a job position, got “sorry we already filled that position” back, three weeks later the job position was still listed as open.

(Yes I did fulfill the formal requirements. No I don’t think they were just nicely saying “nope”)
