It's pretty simple, blue cities and states will implode and business will move to thriving red states and cities. Maybe in 30-50 years some of the blue haired people's grand children (if they haven't been aborted) will look around at the smoldering piles and ask, "Maybe there's a better way????"
Doubtful. They’ll (leftists) continue to flee failing blue cities to move to less expensive and thriving red cities and states, bringing their same leftist voting patterns with them, only to begin the destruction anew. They are like locusts in that regard.
The business is seeking to pay for someone's service
when you hire someone to do a task, you usually ask what they charge. Do you tell your plumber i'll give you XXX before asking them how much they charge to do something?
when you want to pay for an accountant or a doctor, does the customer initiate and say "before i even ask you what you'll charge, i'll give you $5000 /hour for your services."?
I think you're referring to a client-customer relationship and not an employer-employee relationship. Normally with the latter, the employer specifies how much they will pay the prospect to become an employee. If I'm running a restaurant, I put out an add for a dishwasher paying $15/hr. I don't just say I'm hiring dishwashers. I suppose it depends on the industry too. A job opening at Google doesn't normally say "Software Engineer for $180k". The prospect has to pass interviews and is sometimes asked about their pay requirements. But generally, the employer (e.g., Google) will say, "You're hired and we'lre paying $150k".
I find it abnormal and unreasonable, for a prospect to say, "I'm applying for your job opening, how much are you paying me?" That said, I don't support any mandate to publish min/max salaries. Leave it up to the employer how they wish to present salary.
But you just provided a direct example of the definition of negotiation.
It's only negotiation when the applicant has a chance to counter the employer's offer
If the employer is asking the applicant to "name their price" so to speak, the applicant is basically being backed into a corner. Not posting salary is a waste of everyone's time involved. You just bought a house - it's like looking at the listing and seeing no price.

Your example only applies if there is an equal sharing of ground for salary data. Here, the employers usually hold all the cards. The job applicants are left in the dark.
