Amanda Claypool, a significant contributor to the labor shortage in the rich world, is overly restricted immigration.

Plenty of folks worldwide would be delighted to have the 11-hour baking job. However, that doesn't help you apart from the less expensive baked goods.

What could help you and all Americans is a base income to assist whatever life you wish to pursue -- writing as you do it well.

The base income would free you and pay for itself through substantial productivity increases (vital and NOT jobs) created by unleashing the engines of innovation (including automation), immigration, and global trade.

Many thanks.
