I largely agree with the conclusion / sentiment of the article, but honestly it wasn't very good, to the point where it reads more like a D-level school essay than an opinion piece. It starts with an unsupported assertion about shortages that doesn't match most reader's experience (there actually are shortages - the root cause is another matter - they could have pointed to). They then abruptly and with feeble logic jump to conclusion about the cause that they rail on at length so as to make it clear that's what they really want to talk about. Which could have been ok if it was reasoned and had a new point to offer, but instead just gets rammed in, disjointed from the segue. This kind of poorly reasoned writing makes it easy to dismiss the actual good points that might underlie it. I think it should have been ignored rather than flagged, but i also think upvoting it just helps build a strawman for proponents of what's going on to knock down.
