Meh. Keep the barriers high and the labor market tight for as long as possible. Let companies compete for workers like the good ol' days. Let startups use more of that VC cash on its workers and also help keep rates up for IT workers across the country.

I know we Yanks get no sympathy from the rest of the world, but labor here has taken a beaten long enough.

And, I say this as a dev-turned-founder who would presumably now want to see low rates and a bigger pool. I guess I just appreciate more a little "economic justice" from time-to-time!
