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.

If no consumer would want the service or product at the price resulting from every relavant business being required to pay a living wage, then the business should not exist.
In the logic biz, that is what is known as a mere assertion.
If you think social welfare (and other social costs) for underpaid employees is a burden society should not have to pay, wait until you see how much it is when they're unemployed.
I'm all for the experiment. Either it will work, which would be great (though personally very surprising to me), or we'll learn a lesson we apparently can learn no other way.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
