I agree with you and I don't understand how salaries are exempt from the normal capitalism dogma about supply and demand.

If I go into a supermarket and the bananas are too expensive then I can either pay or not eat a banana. If salaries are increasing companies can either pay market rate or no.

(They can also train internally but that doesn't seem fashionable nowadays)

> salaries are exempt from the normal capitalism dogma

A nation state devoting their trillions to outbid companies is the exact opposite of capitalist dogma. (Even less capitalist than a monopolist conglomerate abusing their dominant market position to outbid/undercut you.)
