How? Labour mobility sounds like easier visa applications. Free flow would mean you can go from one place to another without a passport (you can do this currently within the EU with a EU ID.)
But I like your and OP's analogy. Also, the productivity claims are coming from the guys in main memory or even disk, far removed from where the crunching is taking place. At those latency magnitudes, even riding a turtle would appear like a huge productivity gain.
It's a so-called hot-button topic and unfortunately HN isn't quite the paragon of pragmatic technical discussion that it was in the past. C'est la vie.
