How Tighter Curbs on Immigration Impact the U.S. Economy | Econofact
Immigration has accounted for almost half of U.S. labor force growth since 1995. Slower labor force growth would negatively impact employment and GDP growth.

I‘m afraid police state/fascism is going to be the default response to the #polycrisis. Jailing and muzzling those who try to warn about the problem and do something is so deeply human.
Sigh.
But police states are unsustainable, and what is unsustainable cannot be sustained.

In the not too distant future, most countries in the world will treat "environmental" or climate activism as terrorism: "Environmental protesters are being given licence conditions on release from jail that are supposed to be limited to extremism cases."

Most of Ireland's uplands are commonage, ie co-owned by local farmers.
The ONLY real income from commonage is via subsidies, almost always for ecosystem-killing sheep. This is why Irish mountains are all empty wastelands, kept that way by your taxes.
Why are we STILL not paying farmers to rewild??
