Perhaps you can offer a rebuttal to my arguments instead of doing an implicit name-calling?

Immigrants do work harder and offer cheaper labor, not unlike the example of younger developers vs older developers. Companies can feel free to make the trade off

Sorry, I don't buy this whole "older workers more likely to see through bullshit" narrative that many presumably older folks on HN push.

It sounds awfully like the arguments that traditionally nationalist groups use against immigrants, contending they're less intelligent and accept lower wages because they're culturally inferior and just don't know better

Maybe it's just that younger workers legitimately provide better labor for lower cost. For a small startup, you really don't need someone with 30 years of experience, and it's better to spend your money on someone demanding a lower wage and will work fast.

We're talking about a country's influence, and per cap stats are completely unrelated to the total sum of influence

Stats like the one you posted do offer some psychological relief though

That's what people said about TV - it completely destroyed accountable print journalism with show business. Nothing new here

So where can I borrow $250,000 for me to invest in the stock market?

Should be renamed to "Wealthy nations, which don't need growth to be more wealthy, tend to be happy"

Big surprise

Did anyone even read the article. The study has nothing to do with complex behavior or "sophisticated" behavior. It's a study on your ability to generate random list of results, like "listing the hypothetical results of a series of 12 coin flips so that they would 'look random to somebody else'"

> The "tech shortage" is a real myth

Except that's wrong. As much as you may dislike the tech industry, you can't contradict the data that shows there are more job openings than developers in the Bay Area

Yes, and random loss in value which is just as bad as theft

The President isn't everything. There's Congress, with members voted in by their district.
