Pay people a living wage and they will not need to fall back on the state. Let's stop all this crap about poor employers being bled dry. You take on the responsibility of employing people, you don't pay them charity wages.
The responsibility? You have it all wrong. It is a contract whereby both entrants will be better off. The employer gets the product, the employee gets the value of the labor.
It's not as if companies just have spare money laying around.
I'm assumling Roomba is a robot?
Quality dear boy, and the human touch. Our cleaners are worth thousands of your robots.
In terms of quality of work there isn't much difference.
If on a full time wage you cannot afford to lodge yourself decently, to have adequate health care, to feed yourself and clothe yourself without hardship or resorting to a second and even third job, then your full-time wage is not reasonable. That in the same organisation the difference between the lowest and the highest wage can be a hundredfold is obscene.
Decent lodgings - as decided by you. Full time - as decided by you. Adequate health care - as decided by you. Are you noticing a pattern? You're upset because things are not meeting your arbitrary benchmarks. You're looking at it all wrong.
