  The agreeableness of that statement is directly porportional to how much sympathy you have for the buyer. "all those CEOs complaining about a worker shortage are just cheapskates not willing to pay more!" vs "all those millennials complaining about a housing shortage are just cheapskates not willing to pay more!"

      The equivalent to that for worker shortage would be "the government paying people (unemployment) to stay at home, in some cases more than what they'd make if they had a job".
