I couldn’t read your linked article.
Your idea of increasing immigration is one solution, I suppose.
But in reality, a ton of women left the workforce and haven’t returned— probably due to childcare issues, remote learning, workplace safety, and wages that don’t make sense given health risks.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Making people work should be anathema to everyone. Incentivizing people to work is anathema to the right.
Here's a map that I marked to show the states that have nixed the additional $300 a week. Because why fill labor shortages by encouraging businesses to share the bounty of one of the best financial years most of them have ever had when you can push workers past the point of desperation instead?!

We kept telling all of these people that if they wanted a living wage they should get a better job. Now that they decided to agree and everyone is figuring out no one should work at hard ass jobs that cause injuries with limited hours (because heaven forbid someone get 1.5 x minimum wage for 15 minutes), no sick days, no vacation days, no benefits and a couple people can't get a burger at lunch they're crying that no one wants to work.

I'm not saying CEO's are morally obligated to share their hard-earned wealth with workers. But I am saying that for so long as the above is true they are morally obligated to stop whinging and demanding government fix their hiring problems for them.
