If the restaurant can’t afford to stay in business because it’s paying enough for its workers to live, then it doesn’t deserve to exist.
...and if a company can't afford to pay their lowest paid workers a few dollars more when the highest paid CEOs are paid 500 to 1000 times more than them, then maybe the CEOs don't deserve to be paid that much.
Maybe there's a wealth gap in society that doesn't deserve to exist, and that's the real problem.
It's funny cause lots (not all) of the small business owners complaining wouldn't have a problem if they worked their own business instead of just hiring someone to do it for them and getting paid a ton to just own it.
My boss has worked one shift in 23 years. One.
He somehow knows exactly what we’re dealing with.
He hasn’t had to grocery shop for himself since 1989. He still somehow knows exactly what we’re dealing with.
“When I worked in the mines in the late 70s I made less than you make and I bought two corvettes and a boat! Y’all blow your money!”
No, you’re out of touch.
I hear corvette and I just imagine two little picket ships to protect the boat.
Nah, it's his Blockade Runners for his side smuggling income
But then all those workers will lose their jobs
Good, then the market will be freed for an other company to take its place, which can pay its workers a decent wage, so they can rehire all those workers whom lost their job.
A business doesn't have the right to exist, only the privilege.
And that privilege expires if it doesn't add anything positive to society.
