> The stupidity with wich we argue for retaining useless jobs is baffling.

What do you mean by 'retaining useless jobs'? We aren't talking about subsidizing carriage makers or wheelwrights here. We're talking about jobs that will be lost as a direct result of legislation, not market obsolescence.

Of course. It's legislation that will make the world a better place for everyone to live.

Just like all the jobs that were lost when asbestos was legislated to be illegal, or a thousand other examples.

Not here in germany. Legislated but very happy. Dont have to shiver in fear of trumpzilla because the holy st. market didnt bring those outsourced jobs back.
