I was reading someone else’s post earlier who had a family owned business that paid its workers good wages. But paying good wages stoped their company from being able to expand (stopped them from buying new real estate and setting up the same business somewhere else). The problem is that very large corporations (Walmart, Starbucks, etc.) wouldn’t exist the way they do if they paid employees thriving wages. In order to budget for fairer wages, we would need to place regulations on the expansion of these large corporations because they cannot afford to both pay their workers fairly and pay all of their other costs associated with continually expanding their business.
