Many businesses exist that can't pay "living wages". That doesn't make them bad, or unworthy of existing. My wife owns a business. There were many years when she wrote herself paychecks but never cashed them. She pays better than most of her local competitors, especially for her more experienced workers. But its mostly unskilled labor that she hires. COVID cut her business demand by 90%. She has managed to hold onto 50% of her workforce.

- akvadrako 6y agoThat's the beautiful part of the market economy. It supports ideas if the benefits outweigh the costs and let's ideas die if they aren't worth it.
