OR instead of companies going under b/c the numbers no longer make sense....governing bodies could work to reduce the minimum cost to live, those necessary costs like housing and transit (to work and home). I agree that businesses need to pay enough for people to live, and wages have been falling increasingly short of that which is why labor organizing is rising. Businesses can pay more (which some businesses won't be able to so they'll shutter), or the costs that workers need to pay can go down (more types of businesses can exist).
