Envoy is enabled to pay low wages due to the availability of SNAP and other benefits for low income workers. Those programs were originally designed for unemployed. The biggest corporate bailout programs ever was making those social safety net programs change from serving the unemployed to “low income.”
It allowed places like Envoy to continue paying low substandard wages which increased corporate profits... and forced taxpayers to make up the wage difference with expanded social programs.
Democrats get “credit” for helping the poor, when in reality it helps the corporation by increasing their profits and allowing them to continue paying substandard wages. The corporations love social safety net programs for the same reason, it increases corporate profits which can be reinvested into the company reducing corporate taxes to zero. So, they get the benefit, without paying for it.
Without the safety nets for “Low income” employers would have been forced to raise wages to a living income long long ago.
It’s the biggest scam ever.
Corporations are happy paying lower wages and getting higher profit
Low income folks are happy because the govt “cares” about them.
Democrats are happy because the low income folks are dependent upon them to keep those programs running, keeping them in power.
Return to safety nets for unemployed only, and watch how fast employers are forced to pay a living wage. Employees gain self respect and dignity from no longer needing public assistance, employers are forced to pay realistic wages, and government and politicians aren’t as powerful anymore.
