meh, if the only way you can get a piece of the pie is to take it from someone who has less opportunity than you I don't really feel bad.
Cities like Seattle raised their minimum wage, there was a lot of worry that everyone would go broke and there would be no food to eat. As it turned out, a few people shut down and someone else almost immediately opens a similar business in that place.
Not everyone runs a business that is properly priced, or properly managed to make a profit, but lots of people can do it, and they tend to fill the void that is left by businesses that can't offer a product that people feel is worth paying enough to support less than poverty wage.
Even for companies that pay really well, some don't make it.
