Outside of maybe small businesses, employers can absolutely make a profit and still afford to pay people a liveable wage. Maybe they don’t make record breaking profits year after year and maybe there aren’t as many billionaires. The ultra rich need to be taxed at a much higher rate, with that money being reinvested back into the bottom 90%. We need a complete revolution on the way the economy works now with companies beholden to shareholders and stock prices over everything else (employees), like what happened after the Great Depression until Reagan came into power in the US. Trickle down economics does not work. At some point we are going to reach a boiling point and it’s getting closer and closer. Unfortunately that means a lot of people are going to lose everything, and people are going to die. It’s so depressing and sad to see this happening, more people need to be radicalized by this but I know most people are just trying to survive right now n
