“I say two things to Europe. Stop the windmills. You’re ruining your countries. I really mean it, it’s so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds,” he said.

“On immigration, you better get your act together,” he said. “You’re not going to have Europe anymore.”

I'm talking specifically about jobs. The less workers we have, the more workers get paid.

And the less work gets done, so the less money comes back to the country. The cost of your produce goes up when the wages go up, so it becomes harder to compete with competitors from other nations. You risk your businesses defaulting, and the workers losing their jobs so the wages drop once more.

It is not that simple.

As I said, when you factor in that other countries will have more people it doesn't work out. If the entire world disappeared except Germany, then necromancy would lower wages.
