It's wrong but how is it the company's fault? It is the government's responsibility to set a minimum wage. How come the blame doesn't fall on the policy makers

It's wrong but how is it the company's fault? It is the government's responsibility to set a minimum wage. How come the blame doesn't fall on the policy makers and lobbyists?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoIt does. You're left with little recourse when policy makers and lobbyists are apathetic or actually working against the public good (by refusing to raise the minimum wage, which hasn't increased in some places for over a decade, and should be indexed to inflation). Can you not assign blame to someone abusing a broken system? Surely you can. They are still abusing the system.
- anthanm 8y agoThe tech companies are some of the biggest lobbyists around. Large retail, I would guess, are as well. They also put in massive amounts of effort to avoid unionization.
