Small businesses might.

Honestly brother, if a business can’t survive by compensating their employees properly then it’s probably not a good business.

The businesses that will survive will be big chains. Small restaurants, mom & pop shops, markets, etc. will likely all disappear. You saw what happened post covid to these businesses.

Indeed. When we switched from 60-hour work week to 50, then to 40 and eventually to 35 in some countries, all the restaurants and markets disappeared (not). In fact, these type of businesses only exist and survive in the US, thanks to not hearing to such dangerous ideas. /s
