Okay, let's buy into the idea that across the board, workers are worse than workers of the past, for whatever definition of worse you like.

In what way is this a tractable problem? Like, what solution is there that wouldn't involve massively importing workers from other societies where workers aren't worse?

Yes. (Not agreeing workforce degradation is the biggest problem. But opening spigots on skilled immigration would help.)


Getting a bit off topic here, but I agree it's fully fixable with policy changes.

I'm not disagreeing that it feels like the workers are getting fed up, leaving and putting in less effort. It's why, and you can't blame them for feeling exasperated.

I mean I fully support increasing immigration. More tax revenue, more growth, everybody wins.


The workers are the same. The situations they find themselves in are different. People phone it in because that's what we incentivize.
