more offer+equal demand === lower salaries.

By that logic, tech workers should also demand legally capping the number of new graduates; they provide "more offer" too.

It did, but at the cost of everyone else.

I have little sympathy for high tech workers complaining about lower salaries when in fact they are probably in the top 20% if not 10% of the earners in the country.

Sadly, here on HN there is little discussion of how the tech industry could focus more on making this a better world. Even more sadly, the deeper discussions that do surface here quickly get booted off the front page because they are "controversial".
