Under the table is illegal and option B who will do the work? Their competitors that WILL pay the new minimum?
As I suspected, you’ve never run a business. Every cost is borne by the customer. If prices cannot be increased sufficiently to cover costs, while preserving profits, then the businesses will either find a way around (under the table and illegal), or possibly automate. I don’t know why you Leftists always think there’s a deep well of limitless money from customers to draw from. Have you never heard of price elasticity?
