The downside: Small business owners can no longer force employees to work for poverty wages
The upside: the poorest workers in California get a living wage
Why should we care about a few small business owners who can't afford to not exploit their employees? And why should they be prioritized over the workers?
the business owner risks proletarianizing -- oh no. anyway,
Really??? Im trying to understand and you're not being persuasive. Saying you dont care about someone losing their income just comes off as cruel.
Should we regulate it so that only McDonald's afford to run a restaurant? Should benefits be based on employment?
You're acting like under our system this is a benevolent outcome and there couldn't be a downside.

the business owner can get a job just like his workers. ensuring a capitalist can remain a capitalist is not high on my list of priorities.
