    Already explained why… Lots of positions are just nice to have, but are subsidized already, entirely, by other positions that generate all revenue. In many cases you don’t want the business to go away entirely, and in many cases the business wouldn’t even fail, you’d just end up with the optional positions terminated, so those employees make 0/hr instead.

    Another poster already contributed a valid solution of UBI.

      No you didn’t. You only said that a company that can’t afford “25/hr” would be unable to hire people at that rate. Plus an offhand comment about how some people working full time “cannot be justified” earning a living wage, that’s the point you seemingly want to make but just stating something isn’t an explanation.
