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?

I am not a leftist. I want to diffuse the left's Cloward-Piven strategy. A few things do that, a higher minimum wage and import tariffs.

You want a government subsidized work force so who is the leftist again? Jeff Bezos is that really you?
