You can't have cake and cream.
Yes, you can, if you are the one taking the risk and putting your financial well being on the line.
You want to start a business but you can't afford to pay reasonable wages.
Who said anything about can't, it's my business, thus my risk alone, this means creditors have to be paid, taxes and liabilities have to be met, materials have to be bought, and sales have to be made, all the while employees get paid whether I make a dime personally or not, sorry, it's not as simple as "if you can't afford to pay.......etc."
You are basically saying that you need more labour than you can pay for.
No, I am saying that I need more labor for efficiency, but will settle for inefficiency to make a profit AND give the customer base a better price, so, if someone wants the screwdriver job, too bad, they are not worth what they would have to be paid.
Conclusion: your business isn't really viable. And that's a shame, but it's the harsh reality of a system which actually doesn't work.
Please enlighten me with some actual economic fact instead of your opinion.
