diversity is when more borger places and the more borger places the more diverser it is

pay a living wage or sell to someone who can. ideally the state.

Right. I think you're missing my point. Unfortunately we dont live under socialism.

agitating for better workers' comp is how we get there. protecting smol bean business owner profits solves nothing.

But is that what we're doing? Having business owner foot the bill for workers comp is more of the same. We do that already and the actual solution is to have the state perform that function. This solution just cuts out people that cant afford the new regulation. Leaving the large player who can afford it. Furthering wealth disparity.

the business owner risks proletarianizing -- oh no. anyway,

Really??? Im trying to understand and you're not being persuasive. Saying you dont care about someone losing their income just comes off as cruel.

Should we regulate it so that only McDonald's afford to run a restaurant? Should benefits be based on employment?

You're acting like under our system this is a benevolent outcome and there couldn't be a downside.

the business owner can get a job just like his workers. ensuring a capitalist can remain a capitalist is not high on my list of priorities.
