Your argument is "people tolerate some risk, therefore they will tolerate a hugely increased amount of risk at the same clearance price". That's not how the market works.
It's how business owners paying minimum wage want the market to work, but it's not how it does. Shit, a lot of businesses aren't even trying to mitigate the risks, not providing PPE, etc - they just expect minimum-wage workers to absorb all that risk and cost if they don't want to die.
- abfan1127 6y agoThat's not my argument at all. I agree with you that some businesses are trying to "do as they did" and that may not work in the new workplace. However, they aren't competing in a marketplace when the alternative is "not work and get paid".
