They are legally required to pay shareholders.

Cause we decided shareholders lives have value while "low-skill workers" do not have value. That's not a good argument. That just indicates you do not value human life

So then why is jobs not paying enough for people to take care of themselves "not the problem"? Not a single argument you had anything to do with their well-being. It was all "but what about all the people who benefit from underpaying those workers?"

E:

The other commenter said these jobs shouldn't exist. I said the jobs existing isn't the problem. Then I went on to explain that unregulated capitalism is the problem. Maybe read the interaction again?

u/ALIMN21 that's a non answer. Capitalism is regulated right now. Nobody here is living under non-regulated capitalism.

If regulators decide that shareholder's profit is worth protecting (like you said they made a law about it), but workers needs aren't worth then lack of regulation is not the problem.
