The statement itself is always used by businesses when they’re struggling to find workers willing to work for the pay offered.

It’s not overly complicated.

You finally acknowledge that the statement isn’t literal, but you’re still entirely ignoring context for when it’s said. I can’t tell if you’re being overly pedantic or still arguing in bad faith.

Either way, this is a waste of my time and I’m done.

Have a nice day

Hence "sensationalist and disingenuous".

The former.

Unfortunate.
