>Readers: Does the fact that Facebook can unilaterally set the price it will pay for labor depending on the cost of housing from which the labor toils show that the market for Silicon Valley labor is rigged?

I don't understand what he is asking. What does "rigged" mean in this context?

Is he asking if SV employers are rigging wages too low? This seems to be evidence almost the opposite of that, because SV employers are paying remote SV employees more than remote non-SV employees.

Is he asking if SV employers are rigging wages too high? What motivation would they have to do that?
