These companies, what are their profits / expenses? How big are they? Wat do they sell / service do they provide? Are they corporations or just small family businesses? So many questions not being asked

If a company can't afford to pay it's employees a decent wage, then it doesn't need to be a company, tbh.

exactly.. people act like businesses have some kind of god-given right to exist. if your business plan doesn’t include fair livable wages then you are part of the problem. go get a job like the rest of us instead of profiting off of exploitation.

That's a strange way of looking at it. Companies were created to make money. If a company can pay it's employees more than another one, it's likely because they make more profit not because they magically decided to.

Then the companies that make enough profit to cover it should be the only ones that stay in business.

So, you do have a say in that, but not the way you think. You can choose to not buy their products. Saying that a company should go out of business because of their pay rates is honestly small minded.

In your world, only the biggest companies would survive. Amazon, Walmart, etc. Because they have the largest profits. However, if you stopped shopping at Amazon and Walmart and only bought local goods you would be doing infinitely more than what everyone in here is asking for.

They are also conveniently leaving out the big difference in quantity of jobs of various salaries. That post is a trigger for people to say what they already wanted to say.
