If your business cannot afford to pay its workers a living wage and instead relies on exploitation, then your business model sucks and deserves to fail.
"Business" isn't all evil coproate entities sucking at the teat of other peoples work. It's also small operators who put in a lot of time for not very much money. As a pest control technician, I've seen how the rich live from the outside. But I've also seen how small business operators (my bosses, in some cases) live. They weren't doing much better than my middle management father, and putting in a lot more man-hours to get it.
It's not okay for small businesses to exploit people, either. I don't see how this changes my point.
Ironic that I am being attacked by both sides at the same time.
I think some people think all business owners are evil, no matter how large or small they are.
