Rent is by far not the only expense you need to account for. Essentials in California were already higher than a considerable portion of the rest of the country BEFORE the massive inflation spike this decade and it’s only getting worse. The minimum wage there is certainly more generous than most states, but it is not adjusting proportionally just like everywhere else.
There are $1500/m apartments on Zillow in that area. Less than that if you commute. Minimum wage covers that and more without even having a roommate.
Should they be paid more? Yes. They probably are. But this guy decided to put his coworkers at risk of homelessness which is the point I’m arguing.

Yeah, I don’t know what else to say to you aside from personal anecdotes of living in CA on minimum wage.
Fuck that guy. Hope he rots.
If minimum wage is truly livable then why is homelessness a risk? Surely they could just find any other job?
Why are you gocking this arsonist so hard? I hope nobody burns down your work while you’re in it.
That didn’t really answer the question. But to answer yours, I just don’t have much sympathy for corporations.
