We should probably start taking organs from the unemployed. I think that would make people work

You literally can't logically point out how or why I'm wrong so you use vagaries like "academic outlook" and "dipshit", because my logic doesn't jive with your emotions on this matter.

I'll say it a third time, if small businesses are dying because of this, they deserve to die and make room for businesses that pay their employees. Businesses need to compete or die.

You're talking about small business restaurants. Places that historically have always paid their staff the minimum wage. The rest of their wages are made up with gratuity. Now that all of them have been shut down or nearly shut down due to the government you want to blame the businesses for out of date business practices? You are so out of touch with reality it's not funny. We're not talking about the corporations that also pay the same shit wages -minus gratuity. In what world would you rather eat mcdonalds (garbage) rather than a home cooked meal. You sound like a great tipper bro.

McDonalds has enough money to get around the problem where small businesses do not. So you are getting rid of small businesses and promoting large corporations when democrats whole MO is about narrowing the wealth gap when in reality their practices are widening it.

Sounds to me like minimum wage + gratuity is too low if they can't entice workers, right? Maybe they should pay more?

There are no shutdowns any more in 95%+ of places, the government isn't doing anything to these businesses. If business is still light, it is because people as an aggregate are still making a conscious decision to avoid certain situations out of self preservation or whatever reason.

It sounds like you are desperate for reasons to defend unsuccessful business models, as if no small restaurant business has ever paid their employees more than minimum wage + tips and stayed in business? Sounds like you are the one who is out of touch. Running a business is difficult and risky. You shouldn't be trying to convince the government to end a popular policy designed to ease pandemic suffering because it is having downstream effects on what free, rational-actor employees are choosing to do.

You obviously have no fucking clue how a restaurant works or operates. Your logic is something like this "well the government shut you down and you can't afford to pay your employees anymore, but just pay your employees more and you'll recover, or die!" The damage is already done.
