And that's a sad state of affairs. Of course the Feds happily allow new entrants to the market (even ones with questionable business plans like Flair) to enable wage destruction. It barely worked during an era of low inflation it will certainly be worse now.

In the concierge case they are literally putting some of low wage employees out to deal with some of their highest value customers. Everyone has been largely lucky they manage to get good people but eventually the pool of skilled people who live with their family or have a high wage-earning partner will run out.
