There's an ever-increasing issue of people who are not able to provide value sufficient to justify their wages as those wages increase.

That may well be true (FWIW I agree that it's a problem and it's getting worse), however, that's not a "labor shortage" or low supply of labor, eh?

So the company was designed to fail if wages increased?

All companies would fail, if wages were increased beyond a point.

The argument is about where that point lies with respect to a minimum, living, or worthwhile, wage.
