Part of the problem that companies face when talking about a lack of available workers, is the government paying people a good living NOT to work. Hard for companies to compete with that.
Have you ever been on unemployment? It doesn't pay worth a damn.

I wasn't referring to unemployment, I was referring to all of the government assistance one can get these days when they decide not to work. When my oldest daughter got married about 3 years ago, we were joking about how if both of them quit work, they could almost bring in the same amount of money from government assistance as they were making in their jobs. This was based on an article in the paper at the time that detailed all of the public assistance available to people in their position.

Uh , belittle everything else but don’t belittle the commercial space crewed program. It has been a resounding success, creating the worlds first truly reusable rocket and lowering the cost to space by many factors. 

Because of this and other NASA commercial investments , the US now dominates commercial space launch. 

But, feel free to belittle swamp creature and DEI champion Boeing and their commercial program.

They don't need us to do that. They do it on their own.

Am I convinced that this was good when these restrictions were adopted during a time of great economic growth, and after the restrictions we had (literally) The Great Depression and then World War 2? I am not.
The great depression was world-wide so hard to pin that on American Immigration policy but we recovered better than everyone else and grew an economy that was literally as large as the rest of the world combined.  

Are you trying to argue that Hitler invaded Poland because the US restricted immigration?  Get a clue.

Earlier upthread you linked the efforts to keep Polish people out of the United States in 1924 with landing a man on the moon, so let's not get our panties in a bunch about wild connections.

I would love it if a bunch of immigrant civil engineers and land surveyors would come in.
That hasn't been the case?  What about the rod man and the guy that holds the dumb end of the tape?

A survey "crew" is now a "party" of one. GPS and robotic instruments have made this so.

Back in the day, when I was the "party chief" I carried the rodman duties. I wanted to be the one that knew what needed to be found. Anyone can press buttons on an instrument.

We rarely use tapes anymore. We use laser technology.
