LOL, is that a serious question? It's not lip service, it's virtue signaling. Stomp your feet and then blame somebody else - that's how the game is played.
I'd guess 2/3 of the world lives in poverty, by US standards. Global labor competition means 2/3 of the world is begging, literally, to eat your lunch.
I've seen more than a few companies confront this issue. It S U C K S. Either you lay off half your workers, or your bleed for a few years until you have to shut your doors (and then no one has a job). There's no champagne toasts in the Board Room, it's really tough, awful decisions. The ugly truth is that unskilled labor can't command $15 per hour in a global economy.
