I wondered if that was it.

I want to also thank you for rejecting the notion of a labour shortage, which gives people the excuse of bringing in short-term workers from other countries to solve problems that the market isn't solving. On that, I want to thank Mr. Mantis for pointing out that the market doesn't decide things very well, at least not for the long-term economic or social health of any country.

You mentioned these various support systems. Are you suggesting it is now time to move to a guaranteed annual income, merging all these things in some sensible way?
