In fact, so does procreation.
It's funny that people who are upset at unemployment or outsourcing seem to always blame corporate employers and the replacement employees, do they ever consider that procreation may be a problem too? If we had 1/3 or 1/2 less Americans today, would we have more or less consumption, inflation and unemployment? Somehow this is NEVER a problem. Because it's ok for a Americans who have children and want to feed their families, but not OK for corporations to feed their employees, or foreigners to want to feed their families.
