Yes. US economists believe supply and demand meet at price, but he does not seem to. I would love to hire lots of people here on HN for minimum wage. I know though if I want talent, I have to pay. Of course it is about cost. Because if he kept upping his offer, he would get someone (if the office is a normal place). He simply does not want to pay the going rate for the skill set he needs. I'd like to hire lots of people on HN for minimum wage as well - I know that's not reasonable though and I don't whine about it.
