The truth about mass migration
The truth about mass migration
From the description:
"I'm Andres Acevedo and this is The Market Exit. During the migration crisis of 2015, the small country of Sweden admitted a very large number of refugees. What effects did this surge of migrants to Swedish have on the Swedish economy? To find out, I met professor Peo Hansen, author of the book "A Modern Migration Theory" and from our conversation, I realized that many of the economic models we use for assessing our economy and society are deeply flawed.
In the conversation, we talk about the field of research called the fiscal impact of migration. We talk about the difference between real resources and financial resources. We talk about the so-called brain drain within the European Union. We talk about why politicians are so afraid of speaking the truth about migration."
Why all the down-votes? This is actually a good video, despite the click-bait title.
What are the main points of the argument? Can't watch a video right now
Not really possible to tl;dr, but the interviewed professor makes an analogy between Modern Monetary Theory and how the impact of migration is measured wrongly in classic economics / by the state bureaucracy (making it look bad when it is in fact often a net positive for society).
Unfortunately a lot of people, particularly on Reddit/Lemmy, are completely unwilling to even talk about any impacts mass immigration could be having.
I think it's less that than how the title gives an impression this is some racist right wing nonsense about how migration is bad for societies when it actually seems to be the opposite of that (I've only had a chance to watch the first 3 minutes so far, but that seems to be where it's going)
not only about migration, about pretty much any topic. You can even agree with people about something but the moment you mention it isn't all sunshine and rainbows you get a hail of downvotes
Well, I stopped clicking clickbait a long time ago.
