Who cares if overpaid (compared to other professions) programmers wages are threatened? Are you entitled to make six figures? No, you make six figures because market forces coincidentally put that price on the skill you were lucky enough to land in. Why are you not in the same breath talking about already-depressed McDonalds workers wages? Are you just a better person entitled to a better wage?

By 'market forces' you mean 'employers colluding illegally to keep wages low', perhaps?

No, I meant market forces. Yes, illegal things happen sometimes and perpetrators should be punished and made to make reparations.
Or are you insinuating that all changes in salary are due to illegal collusion? Boy have I got news for you!
