It can be a disaster for a company that pays 90% of its workerforce under that wage.
Of course if everyone were bringing up the price of labor, competition in the market place would be preserved. If there were any products or service whose viability depended on an indentured working class, fuck em'.
By which you inevitably, if not intentionally, mean: fuck their employees. Let 'em be unemployed. They shouldn't have been so careless as to fail to get the skills that would have found them employment in a company not based on employing the under-educated, under-experienced, or over-incarcerated.
And an indentured working class would not be free to quit a low-paying job to go to a better-paying one as soon as they can find it. 'Indentured' means you can't quit because you're under a binding contract.
I've worked for minimum wage and I've been unemployed, and I assure you, I was not better off unemployed.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
