So, what is your point? You’re telling small business owners to suck it up and pay more for labor, and yet you just admitted that this will drive them out of business.

Why do you hate small businesses?

Why do you hate small businesses?

Maybe I am an evil corporate overlord, rejoicing in the destruction of my competitors whilst I ruthlessly exploit my staff and rent politicians to pass regulations ensuring my permanent monopoly.

Oh wait. I think you got the wrong guy.

Actually, I still run a small business which deals mostly with other small businesses. Many of these were shut down as "non-essential" by Government decree during the recent COVID unpleasantness. Most of them them won't be coming back, so the issue of minimum wages and unemployment compensation is moot.

I don't have any employees or contractors these days. I do pay all my bills. Sorry, it's just the best I can do.

I see first-hand that Government is actively hostile to small businesses. And the "generous unemployment benefits" are being financed with massive inflation which will wreck pretty much everybody except those with insider political connections.

I cannot get too upset about business that cannot keep up with inflation. It is one flame in a much larger conflagration.
