> If the NYC underground economy is indeed the only thing keeping minorities afloat, that means the economy is dependent on exploiting minority communities (keeping them working in illegal ventures, preventing upward mobility). Any business that can't afford to pay their workers a living wage and needs to exploit minority communities to stay open should be shuttered. No point letting them keep their failed business at the expense of everyone else. Companies who have been exploiting workers and pocketing the extra profits should either stop exploiting people and just pocket a little less profit or go out of business already and get out of the way so someone more competent can fill public's need for the good/service they offered.
