I thought this theory was dis-proved in another thread.

No, it more a bigger shift overcoming long term wage suppression.

Aren't you the denier? Aren't you denying that supply impacts price on one thread, and advocating for it in another.
Here, you say a shortage of low wage workers will drive up the price...and everyone agrees with you.
On the other thread, you denied that an increase in supply of low wage workers affected the price.
You are being inconsistent. The one commonality, is that in each argument, you were promoting liberalism. |

I've never said supply and demand isn't an economic force, just that in the real world there are a lot of other factors to consider some of which can be more influential to actual results. |

Right. And if the impact of supply on price supports your agenda, you agree with it. When it doesn't support your agenda, you deny it. |
