      Really??? Im trying to understand and you’re not being persuasive. Saying you dont care about someone losing their income just comes off as cruel.

      Should we regulate it so that only McDonald’s afford to run a restaurant? Should benefits be based on employment?

      You’re acting like under our system this is a benevolent outcome and there couldn’t be a downside.

        The downside: Small business owners can no longer force employees to work for poverty wages

        The upside: the poorest workers in California get a living wage

        Why should we care about a few small business owners who can’t afford to not exploit their employees? And why should they be prioritized over the workers?
