        bc otherwise the taxpayers end up having to subsidize your insufficient wages with SNAP, welfare, prisons, homeless shelters, etc.

        All of which ends up costing LOTS MORE than if you just payed employees enough to make rent & feed themselves and their children.

        If the boss isn't willing to pay him enough to survive, he should scoop the damned ice cream himself.

        Pretty simple answer to this, in the payroll system, you set the hourly wage to $15.00.

        Seriously! You decide to pay a living wage and you do it. Not like it hasn't ever been done before. 💁🏻
