But that's not necessarily the only thing that Sam is saying. matched

I see that for like there's not a finite number of jobs and the more people working creates new jobs and new opportunities. matched

That all makes sense. matched

But I think some people's arguments, uh like this this book author, uh Samuel Moyne, he's not really saying matched
