    The guy says, “Workers who aren’t paid a living wage aren’t earning one”

    Tell that to all the people during COVID and beyond who watched as manpower/headcount was reduced at their job and they were expected to earn the exact same wage for more work.

    The guy says, “…A more productive worker will take their place”

    He means “A more desperate worker”

    He says, “I can’t stay in business if I pay my employees more than I have to”
