And? Of course it'll cost them money. They have been hoarding pay increases for years. 8f your business model doesn't support paying a decent wage, your business model sucks.

Yeah, wasn't this the whole point of capitalism or something? If you can't compete in the free market then gtfo and all that

That's what it says, but it's just marketing. Capitalists don't actually believe in fair competition. They believe in themselves having all the stuff, not anyone else, by any means necessary.

I'm sure most of their employees will still draw public assistance to supplement their basic needs. Fuck these companies.
