      1. Establish a wage floor.

      2. Establish a price cap.

      If the corporation can’t make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.

        A price cap seems to be based on the premise that not having a service at all is better then having it be too expensive. I find that idea very questionable.

          “Let’s treat our workers like slaves or else the entire economy will suffer” is a far worse take IMHO.
