  • You seem to be ignoring where profits are going - shareholders have, for decades, taken far more than their fair share of things and wages absolutely can go up without driving companies out of business it’s just that one group has to take less and that’s the shareholders. Employers will continue to do anything in their power to keep shareholders happy over employees and that absolutely includes bringing in cheaper, migrant labor. It’s not a labor shortage, it’s a wage shortage and investing in productivity doesn’t reduce jobs, it creates new ones - often that require a different skill set than the one it replaced and that’s one reason we are failing, we aren’t helping people acquire new skills en mass
