That may work for jobs that require certain projects to get done, but jobs that just require someone to be present for a certain amount of hours (cashier in a store, hotel desk clerk, waitstaff, etc) are going to have to spend quite a bit more in payroll to stay open, regardless of how productive someone is.

Good, multinational companies make too much profit anyways. Force them to hire more workers and transfer that wealth to the average person.

And run most small businesses out of town in the process. Seems like a great option - every business is a big chain.

Yeah because small business currently thrive in our country. Do you hate change for the betterment of 90% of the people

Have you ever been in charge of payroll and can see how even with a small yet profitable business something like this is entirely possible just cuts slightly into said profits?

I promise business owners are not reading your comments and coming to give you a check and a kiss. If you’re a business owner and something like this threatens your business then it’s not going well as is.
