I'm sympathetic to the underlying point, but I disagree with the claim. There's no a priori reason that the percent of returns that go to labor should remain constant. Tech changes. Competitors change, etc. Labor % could fall even in an entirely free market. (see Aristillus #3) https://t.co/f5IloUG9Hv
the specific point was "X is proof that Y". I believe that X is true. I believe that Y is true. It is NOT the case that X is proof of Y. Y can have multiple causes. In this case, it may very well BE X ! ... but that does not make his statement true.

Maybe there's a larger conversation that I'm missing, but I don't see how anyone looks at the graph in question and thinks, first thing, "Ah, an immigration discussion" unless they're pretty heavily primed to see everything as an immigration discussion.

well, he said two different things first he said "this is a conversation about how the market is not free", then he changed and said "this is a conversation about immigration" in the end, it was just shitpoasting and not worth getting into
