According to the Copenhagen Consensus findings which aim at helping world leaders prioritize which world problems are MOST URGENT in reality, instead of just in the minds of a few activists, one of the most worthwhile projects after lowering immigration barriers for skilled workers is lowering the cost of starting a business.
Significantly, that project falls under the topic of “Governance and Corruption”.
In other words, it’s bureaucratic, tax hungry, bribe hungry parasites who can’t make a living providing a useful service in a free economy who subsist by parasitizing entrepreneurs who can start something on their own.
Issues of climate like the Kyoto accords came in a dismal last.
That means they really wouldn’t help anybody so why do our politicians even pretend to care?
Because we’re governed by pragmatism and vote buying instead of principles, but that’s another rant.
