My friends once told me I remind them of the main character from the American comedy series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'

Skilled shortages in America exist because we are shielding our skilled labor force from world competition. [Visa quotas] have been substituted for the wage pricing mechanism.

Eliminating such restrictions would reduce at least some of the income inequality.

I don't think anyone's found a way of eliminating thoughts of danger and loss. It's rather that, when they're unrealistic, you become an acrobat at marshaling evidence against them.
