It's always just that simple. Say goodbye to 90% of restaurants and most small businesses - problem solved!
Why should I pay you $25 an hour when I can get 4 people working for the same money in Mexico or China. What skills do you have to earn the $25/hr?
- quadrangle 5y agoBut it doesn't work with the non-living-wage either. That's just externalizing the costs. If people are actually not making enough to live basic, healthy lives, that means we have a portion of the population scraping by in bad health and even dying early etc etc. and that isn't free of costs. That has massive massive costs, and the burden is going to be paid some way.
- mentalpiracy 5y agoYou aren’t going to get 4 people in Mexico or China to be your line cooks and wait staff.
- myko 5y agoSounds like something a competent business owner could figure out.
- mbrodersen 5y agoSo how do you explain all the restaurants that are alive and well in Western Europe, paying very high minimum wages compared with the US?
