Give the workers daycare, food, accommodation, training/education and pay them peanuts...
In practice, many low-wage workers already get these resources, but via the government (i.e. your taxes) rather than the company.

- Iftheshoefits 12y agoIn reality, they don't get these things from the government. I suppose "private-company run debit cards systems, private-company run day care, private-company run medical facilities, private-entity run education programs, etc." paid for with a stipend or debit card issued and funded by the government qualifies as "via the government." However, as is so often the case when "welfare" or a social safety net comes up, especially in America, what is technically true by a parsimonious and context-free reading of the facts is, in practice, not fundamentally relevant (or even completely true).
