CLOSED BORDERS
No exit
There are many countries out-there that prevent their citizens from emigrating. Thankfully enough, those countries are becoming a thing of the past. Partially because of the stupidity of other countries that prevent immigration. In other words, what’s the point of being able to leave a country if you don’t have anywhere to go?
Economic benefits
There are two main reasons why countries prevent emigration:
- Politics…

MONOPOLY OF MOVEMENT
Let’s call it for what it is
Immigration and emigration is simple to understand; it is a monopoly. What they are monopolizing are decisions over our movements. Nowadays it is impossible to move anywhere in the world at will. Every time we think of crossing a border, there are several restrictions. Even if we somehow manage to do so, there are a myriad of other restrictions placed…

OH… YEAH… BY-THE-WAY, IMMIGRANTS INCREASE WEALTH
Then, we have the seldom mentioned, often ignored real facts about immigration.
Immigrants have all sets of skills and educational levels
It is true that their averageeducational level may be lower than that of the country they are immigrating into… but… their higher educational levels are usually higher… and…they are much more strongly motivated to work hard and succeed… and…they provide a wealth…

The issue of immigration always produces polarized opinions. Those who live in countries that “have”, oppose new leeches sucking from “our” taxes. Those who live in countries that “do not have”, favor it because they just want to “contribute” to the countries that “have” to make economic conditions even better for all (including themselves). This dichotomy is, of course, stupid and artificial. Immigration has no reason to be feared, except…

Today we are going to touch on a topic that is so far in the future that will look like science fiction… but it is not. We have seen in our lesson When Countries Dissolve, what the process of dissolution will look like and how will this affect people. In general terms, the government will progressively lose its power to enforce laws and consequently, laws will be ignored in a…

Bureaucrats get tax free money
Most bureaucrats bolster about how much work they have and how little salary they earn. We have seen how all their so-called work is in reality wasted tax money (yours and mine to be precise), but what about their salaries? Why do we say that they earn tax free money?
Simple. Consider a bureaucrat that earns 50.000 Reales. This person may be…

BUREAUCRATS - CONT'D
Bureaucrats’ power is expressed as growth
In a normal for-profit company, people usually get promoted because they produce profits. The size of their subordinates sometimes grows and sometimes shrinks. In a free market, the measure of your success is profit and it is hence reflected in their salary.
However, in a bureaucracy, there are no profits since they don’t produce anything. As such, it is impossible to…

BUREAUCRATS - CONT'D
Bureaucracy is a kiss-butt-ocracy
As bureaucrats do not produce anything, there really is no way to quantify their individual contributions. All their job reviews and so-called “metrics” are purely subjective and open to negotiation and interpretation. They know this. Their bosses know this. Their bosses bossed know this. Politicians know this. Everybody in the system knows this. The only people who do not know this are the…

BUREAUCRATS
This class is the gears that make possible the execution of government decisions. Without them, governments and politicians would be irrelevant. They are the carrot and the stick. They are the forces of darkness and oppression incarnated. They are the soulless army that will never, ever cease to persecute you, however farther away you go.
Bureaucrats are indoctrinated, not born
Very few people actively prepare themselves to become government…
