The fact that your response to the dilemma of a particular job position creating less value than the minimum wage you intend to force upon it with "fix your business model" reveals a massive ignorance of what goes into starting a business, and of how thin profit margins are in the majority of small businesses.

You're unwittingly advocating for there to be insurmountable hurdles for starting new small businesses, which will inevitably result in megacorporations with deep enough pockets to eat those inflated costs (and having a lack of competition to the degree that they can easily mark up their product far beyond where they normally could without being punished for it, to more easily eat said costs) being the only ones employing anyone, because only they can afford it.

And then, invariably, the same 'advocates' will come along and complain about monopoly and lack of competition, oblivious to their own facilitation of that end result.

In short, your 'solution' is objectively foolish, and merits no serious consideration.
