I agree on the point of not ignoring these feelings. It’s a tough question, how to change the culture to be more welcoming to immigration in the time of looming climate refugee crises. Just wanted to point out that Sweden has a lower population density (26 ppl/km2) than the US (38 ppl/km2). Density is probably not the issue, although how all that land is put to use might be one of them.

“as AI demand accelerates”. Right, the demand by billionare-shareholders and execs to push that shit everywhere at maximum volume and to blow all the world’s resources into the AI bubble.
