>> That's just a local problém, there's no such shortage in Europe.
Your point is valid even in the context of my humor actually. Many of these problems are highly local.
For example, the "shortage" of things in NYC are usually because people dont account for local constraints. My colleagues in NYC complain about a "shortage" of nannies, yet cant seem to see that the living wage in NYC is super-high. Why would a nanny work for below-living wages? I'm sure that with commensurate income, the shortage would disappear.
