I think that says it all really; its perfectly fine for business owners to have large salaries but when it comes to people like cleaners, nurses, teachers - those people whose true value we've learned to appreciate far more thanks to covid - then they don't deserve more income & he has no problem leaving them to struggle.
Most business owners are reasonable & treat staff fairly; its the ones who don't who are the problem.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
