    If you’d rather lose business than pay a living wage then it’s not a policy issue, it’s a management issue.

          Yes. Their work is being undervalued. They talk about tent, taxes, etc. the other option was layoff workers.

                  I feel it’s accurate. Most people are not reading it nor understand it. Their point is it’s too expensive to open or run anything how days. The employees are just another cost.

                  As they said it needs to be easier and cheaper.

                  I doubt you’ve even owned a business otherwise you’d understand and not focus just on the worker comment. It’s very expensive to run a business. It’s very risky. Considering the works make about the same as the owners, that’s concerning as they may close shop and move on.

                  We’d have more small businesses if we made it easier and cheaper. It’s why wallarts and Amazons are crushing everyone.

                    It’s not that risky to run a business. If it fails then you’re insulated from its failure.

                    If your business can’t succeed without your employees being impoverished then it’s not a business that deserves to exist.
