I agree with other replies that this is just a matter of perspective. Here’s an alternate one - if you hate Walmart and/or you hate the idea of unskilled workers in lower paying jobs, why do want to make them solely reliant on big employers like Walmart?
A better safety net, in addition to achieving the same immediate outcome of workers living with better conditions, also means workers have more options. It might lower the supply of potential Walmart employees and actually also increase their wages or working conditions. But more importantly it would mean they could leave Walmart and still get by. Or they could work fewer hours without worrying about things like losing their employer sponsored health insurance. More people could live more fulfilling lives rather than being so reliant on their job at Walmart.
