"Specialized" != "rare". An auto mechanic has specialized skills, in that a general person on the street can't do that job. Auto mechanics aren't rare.

Also, the proportion of the total population that's capable of getting a job at FB is quite small. Within FB the people are largely interchangeable, precisely because of that high hiring bar. Everyone who's hired is smart, so they can all do everything (in theory).

It's not the governments problem that FB's hiring bar is so high.

I don't even know what to make of this.

Porsche-certified mechanics, are rare though.

Right, they're specialized and rare.
