Here’s the rub.. his job also goes away when those companies go away.

I still agree with you for a different reason though - if you believe that it’s a poorly governed place, at some point it becomes immoral or at least unwise to continue to sustain it with your tax dollars.

So you see this kind of argument in the current "labour shortage". Some people will say certain businesses can't afford to pay more and they'll fold otherwise.

I personally don't see the business owner earning an income (sometimes a substantial income) as justification for the workers to earn less than a living wage.

It's the same here: there's no good justification for someone commuting plus working 18 hours a day and getting paid for 10 of those hours.
