Desalination Plants. Isn't this infrastructure?

Along with Nevada and AZ, can’t have endless growth

Then you'll have to severely limit the number of new building permits and can you imagine the feces storm that will fire off.
Right now one of the fastest growing cities in the US is Boise Idaho. Californians going north . But now their water and other services are being stretched to their limit.

Phoenix too

Pretty good here in AZ.

As long as water can continue to be pumped out there but that's the question.... How many more people can services support out there in the desert?

That’s my fear as well

It's the 8th largest economy in the world and for decades sent billions more in tax dollars to Washington than what it received in return. It's problem can at least impart be attributed to unrestrained growth and now has outstripped it resources. In addition most of the water that flows into Southern California comes from the COLORADO river.

Time to keep Colorado River water in Colorado.

Maybe where you're living at today they do but in the US there's something called child labor laws that frowns on that.

Yah but you're the one who said we have a labor shortage now because the birth rate went down in 2007. So apparently not enough young teenagers to fill jobs.

Only because you get water from Colorado.

The rain and the snow fall here. Why should we have to give the resource to users downstream because of water rights that are decades old. We got farmers and ranchers going out of business because they can't pump water out of the river in order to save it for you asshats down river.

Water is its problem.

14 might seem mighty fine where you're at but on this side of the border we call that robbing the cradle.

The objective is to increase workforce participation but the major impediment to doing so is the lack of childcare which will allow many talented women to return to the workforce. And one of the reasons for the current labor shortage is that the US birthrate has been falling since 2007 and is now the lowest since 1930 and lack of quality and consistently available childcare is one of the reasons given for the declining birthrate .

Cool rant lady.
Childcare is not infrastructure.
Your cult leaders may have been able to trick you, but rational people don't fall for that.

Then why did you say a labor shortage started with declining birthrates in 2007? That would make a baby born then either 14 or about to turn 14.

Let me try again to get through to you. The US birthrate has been declining since 2007 and is right now the lowest since 1930. So don't you get it? Due to the declining birthrate there will almost certainly be a smaller and likely insufficient pool of workers available at all skill levels going forward.

Let me try to get through to you. The US worker productivity rate has been increasing since long before 2007 and is right now the highest ever. So don't you get it? Due to the increasing productivity rate there will almost certainly be a sufficient pool of workers.

You already knew that though, because you left wingers are always bitching and moaning that productivity increased and wages didn't.

If that's the case then why are employers aggressively competing against one another for workers? How do you measure the productivity of a worker if there's no worker there to begin with? You consercuks and your simplistic solutions. Too bad the problem is far more complex than your simplistic solutions can effect.
