What's wrong with that?

I can't afford to hire a butler, so I don't get one. The government doesn't owe me one. Nor does it issue a special visa so someone can come and be my butler for the $50/week I can afford...

The problem is that only the most profitable companies remain. If you don't see the problems that can lead to, I don't know what to say.

I'm not demanding "the government" do anything about it, and I don't think that cheap foreign labor will help at all. I don't have any solutions.

But access to developers is an issue, and saying that companies should just pay more is naive and doesn't solve any problems.
